I undrstand that for a new car in italy ther is no need to have the MOT done until its four years old and after that every two years (assuming this is still current?). what about an older car though? Presumably the MOT would have to be done every two years? Any suggestions? Thanks.

If, at  the time of your re-registration in Italy of your UK(?) registered vehicle, the authorities check to see if your MOT is still valid - from your MOT certificate. If it is, you will not need to have a revisione (MOT) done by the Italian authorities until the current MOT expires. If, however, the MOT is out of date at the time of re-registration, you will have to have a  revisione done before they will give you the Italian registration - it is normally done at the same time. This is my understanding
