May 2, 2018
The state of maintenance of trucks and heavy road transport vehicles has not improved in recent years, rather the reverse. This is what is deduced from the latest official data provided by the Technical Inspection of Vehicles (ITV) and has shown an increase in failures of 28.75% in vehicles of more than 3,500 kilos and also in buses between 2012 and 2016 that could have been solved in the event that the professional who drives them had brought them up to date in the section on spare parts and spare parts for lighting, signaling and exterior conditioning of the bodywork.

Specifically, minor truck failures increased by 54.68%. In global numbers, in 2012 the ITV stations rejected 151,067 trucks in a first inspection while in 2016 the figure increased to 164,686 trucks, which represents a total increase of 13,619 vehicles. 

Said otherwise, the trucks rejected in their first pass by the ITV accounted for 35.68% of the total number of vehicles inspected. In the second review, the problems continued to increase percentage-wise up to 75%, going from 11,776 trucks with serious faults in the second instance in 2012 to 20,668 in 2016.
