I think so too.

The SVA test is not the dramatic hurdle that people imagine.

The main failure points are external projections and emissions. If you check the whole car for any sharp edges and cover or remove any you find you should be fine. The front suspension is the main problem with the Roadster (and all other cars with "open" front wheels), follow the instructions in the book re nut covers and protective rubber and you should be fine. Take trim and adhesive (sikkaflex) with you. The emissions can be set at a pre SVA MOT test.

The tester will usually let you have a little time to add trim or correct minor faults.

Even if you fail first time you will have a list of the things you need to change.

If you're worried about the test, it might be possible for someone on the forum with experience of the SVA test to have a look at the car before you go.

Hope this helps

Chris
