flyerncle, I have to try and make things clear here as this thread is getting out of hand with input from people that just don't know.
First of you cannot book an MOT on a chassis number that has not been registered yet and is not in the MOT/DVLA computer system, it's illegal.
If you did book an MOT on a chassis number made up by you and it was accepted then you would have to MOT it every year from then and not in 3 years time after IVA, also there is a very good chance they will set the wrong emissions lumbering you with them for the life of the vehicle.
You can insure the vehicle on a chassis number made up by you as long as it complies with DVLA VIN number pattern and drive it to IVA, and back unless VOSA declare the vehicle unroadworthy.
DVLA do not allow you to drive to the build up inspection so you should trailer it.
If you play about with the rules prepaired to get burned, it could take all the fun out of passing IVA with months of DVLA wrangling, it can be bad enough as it is without trying to shortcut the proper process, and if they get wind of it you may never get the car properly registered.
