DDifficulty 3/5

In mainland Spain, for special-use regular public school transport under Article 1(a) of Royal Decree 443/2001, what is the vehicle’s general maximum age at the start of the school year, without relying on exceptional admission?

Correct answer

10 years old.

10 years from first registration, with 1 September taken as the start of the school year. Article 3 exceptionally admits vehicles up to 16 years if prior use in this transport is demonstrated or the prescribed scrapping certificate is supplied for another vehicle assigned to the service in the current or preceding school year. Do not extend the 10-year rule automatically to every child transport service; the fourth additional provision has separate conditions for the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, excluded here.
