Correct answer
No, there is no such automatic confiscation merely because it expired.
No. Current rules do not establish automatic confiscation merely because the inspection expired: do not confuse vehicle registration with driving entitlement. Inspection must remain valid; officers can check the Vehicle Register or the inspection report or ITV card under Article 12.2 of Royal Decree 920/2017. Expired, unfavourable and negative inspections are different situations. An unfavourable result for serious defects permits only the prescribed repair and reinspection movements; a negative result requires transport by means other than the vehicle itself.
