gav- Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I am hoping someone can help me, I am aware of the iva process (infact taking a vehicle through it now) and aware of the 8 points process. I am thinking of buying a hybrid which is a 100 rr chassis with defender body. I believe it was built a number of years ago. The question I have is when I take it for an MOT will I be told it needs an iva or is there a cut off point for vehicles already on the road? I seem to remember there was but can't find any firm details. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 IIRC IVA is only done Once to ascertain the vehicle is legal & safe for public highway use, after that it's a annual MOT like every other vehicle if you intend to use it on public highways & competions [some require mot/tax/insurance] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The SVA was introduced in @ 1998. Prior to that the DVLA would change the log book by post or inspection. If the body type hasn't been changed then neither is likely to have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Is it currently/ever been on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav- Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes, apparently every summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 IVA eligability is not part of the MOT. You could take a hybrid registered as a ford cortina, and so long as it was ok in every other respect it would pass the mot. The only time it being incorrectly registered is ever likely to be picked up is at a VOSA roadside check. IMHO this too is fairly unlikely as I personally have only ever seen VOSA dipping tanks for red diesel - thats all. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
