Baza has always been a bother when it comes to getting a vehicle through an ITV inspection, because the inspections centre was 18 kilometres away. The previous mayor in 1992 managed to get an ITV centre for the area but after a bout of sulking from Guadix, the Junta decided to place it equidistant between the two towns – which pleased nobody.

Then Guadix got its own centre, as did Huéscar, so there was little point in the installations remaining where they were.

After a lot of farting around and paper juggling a new site was found in front of La Noria industrial estate.
