You can take it for a test at any time. 

However, you can only go one month early and retain the existing renewal date.

It may help you to have a look at the N332 website that deals with anything to do with driving in Spain.   It is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people and has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.

Note. In Spain, it is month to month, so you need a new ITV by February 2023.

Just one point. Make sure the engine is hot, maybe a bit of a run along the motorway, before taking it in.

Mine failed the test last year (emissions) because the engine was only warm.
