Van controle technique

[nectarine]

We have an old Vauxhall Arena van, about the same size as a smaller Sprinter van, and need a controle technique ... but are there special CT places for vans or could I go to our local garage?

Just wanted your advice before we go out this afternoon.

Just take it to one of the normal CT stations.

Don't forget that you will also need a yearly "contrôle anti pollution" within a year of having the CT done.

ooh cripes, I didn't know about the controle pollution ..... is there any allowance made for older vehicles at all?

As per the text below, if your vehicule is a "utilitaire leger" ( light van) with a PTAC of less than 3.5 tonnes then the anti pollution test is due for petrol vehicles registered since 1972 and for diesel vehicles registered after 1980. It may be worth checking on your carte grise as if the "genre" of the vehicle is VP ( Voiture particulier) private car, then the intermediate anti pollution test is not required . Of course if you vehicle is less than 4 years old then no test is required

Les véhicules utilitaires légers doivent effectuer une visite complémentaire annuelle anti-pollution, à la suite du premier contrôle technique. Sont concernés les véhicules :
- Essence mis en circulation à partir du 01/10/1972,
- Diesel mis en circulation à partir du 01/01/80.
