Owners of tractors and mopeds in Castelló d'Empúries will be able to have their vehicles inspected without leaving the municipality next week.

The mobile unit of the ITV, the Inspecció Tècnica de Vehicles, will visit the town on Wednesday, 30 September 2026. It will carry out inspections from 8am to 12 noon.

The ITV is Spain's compulsory roadworthiness test, similar to the MOT in the United Kingdom or the TÜV check in Germany. Vehicles must pass it regularly to remain legally on the road. Normally, owners have to take their vehicles to a fixed inspection station. The mobile unit saves them that trip.
