Overview

  • The national non-compliance rate for motorcycles under 25 years old stands at 23.3%, with Baleares leading at 28.6%, followed by Melilla (27.7%) and Extremadura (27%).
  • In the Valencian Community, 26.6% of motorcycles under 25 years have not passed the mandatory ITV inspection, one of the highest rates in Spain.
  • AECA-ITV warns that excluding motorcycles over 25 years old from compliance data underestimates the true scale of non-compliance, as older vehicles are often less safe.
  • Motorcyclist fatalities reached a record high of 289 in 2024, with AECA-ITV linking this to the high rate of ITV non-compliance.
  • Murcia has launched mobile ITV inspection units as part of broader national efforts to improve compliance and enhance road safety.
