Wink Mot/iva

Hi Guys
Reading on the forum, can not make sense what is first as some one else some where else on the forum was talking about setting the brake limiter on the rolling road of the local MOT station prior to IVA! So what is first MOT or IVA? Surely the car has to have all its normal documentation before the MOT!

Cheers Axle

You can MOT on a chassis number

As far as I know, you only need to have the IVA test to register & tax the car.

I believe that most local MOT stations will let you have the use of their rolling road to help you to set up your brakes prior to the IVA
The costs should not be too great, i guess it will depend on how well you know your local testing station.

You may need to provide some general axle weights to allow the rolling road operator to calculate the correct brake effort & balance.

This way, at least you know your brakes will be OK for the IVA test.

Hi Guys
Does this mean you can trailer the car to the MOT station and after passing it can be driven for the IVA, or Have got the wrong picture here?

Cheers

I may be completely barking up the wrong tree but this is my understanding of the way things work.

The car is taken for an IVA test.

Once passed you are issued with a MAC certificate.

The MAC will enable you to register & tax your car.

An MOT certificate is not required for the first 3 years as per new car.

I also believe that if you are able to find an insurer that will insure the car on the VIN number the car can be driven to the IVA test.

Now I will duck for cover

I could be wrong but have wide shoulders to bear the grief.
Mot on chassis number self stamped (right side of chassis) can be driven to test if pre booked (nearest station )Trade plates would save grief from plod.I have tested many imports this way and it gets them on the VOSA system as they have no uk reg.
IVA
DVLA with cert from VOSA and register and tax.
I think it has been mentioned that you do not need a test for three years after.
FrankieBoy or Spud69 can probably shed more light on this.

Just out of interest & as I am not a NT

Can you log onto the MOT system using just the VIN number ?

My take on things have mainly come from reading lots of posts over on the LCB forum.

Quite a few builders who had an MOT before the SVA were plauged each year for an MOT certificate before they could tax their car on year 2 & 3

I have spent many hours on both DVLA & VOSA websites & not found any fixed procedure. All in all very vauge to say the least

When you log a test,reg number, last six of vin.
You can create a new record if you have no reg or vin already on the system but be careful in doing so as it is not easy to correct and you get grief from VOSA.
"All very vague" Of course it is,Government remember !

I can relate to that

Is it ever easy dealing with government orgs.

Had my class 7 ( 3,500kg ) Transit logged on to the system before my ole mucker realised that he could only test up to 3,000kg

I just hooted when I saw the failure form
