In Spain, they also have the 4 year followed by 2 yearly tests for private cars. However, different rules apply to light commercials, small vans, hire cars and business owned cars, etc.. I am not sure about when the 1st test takes place for them, but the test thereafter are annual for those classes of vehicles.
They also increase the testing when vehicles are ten years old to annual for private cars (only for cars initially registered as for private use), whilst the other classes are increased to having tests every 6 months, even if, for example, an ex-hire car/business car was sold for private use.
