Overview
- Sutran, which issued reminders on Sunday, said owners of private vehicles whose license plates end in 6 have until the end of September to pass the ITV at an MTC‑authorized CITV center.
- The inspection checks core safety and emissions systems, including brakes, steering, suspension, lights, tires and exhaust emissions to confirm a vehicle is fit to circulate.
- Owners must use centers listed in the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) registry and Sutran urged drivers not to wait until the last days to avoid long lines and possible denial of service.
- Service vehicles such as taxis, public transport, tourist transport and hazardous‑materials carriers begin checks earlier and must renew their certificate every six months because of higher use and risk.
- Reports differ on whether the first ITV for private cars is required at three or four years of age, so owners should consult the MTC or Sutran normative text or official portal to confirm the exact timing.
