I was told you could drive to SVA or IVA without MOT or registration as it (SVA)was a statutory test (indeed it would be illegal to drive to an MOT test station as it wasn't a registered vehicle!), but not to the DVLA as it wasn't a statutory test - main thing is that in all instances insurance is required. Whole DVLA/IVA process seems to be very different from region to region - All I can say is that the SVA test was IMHO very fair and the testers very helpfull. The working of DVLA are a mystery to me (and possibly the people who work for DVLA?)

When I took mine for the IVA test they told me that they were not testing it for road worthiness but whether it was built correctly and meets all the required standards, they do not test things like wheel bearings, suspespension joints etc. I think this is also why the DVLA say that you have to trailer it to their inspection as it is not legal to take on the road as it has no MOT, but you can drive it to the IVA test without one. Confused? I certainly am. I am still working on my "fix list" from the first IVA test but thankfully I am nearly at the end. I finished the strengthening plates for the pedal box and servo mounts today and only about 3 things left to do so I must get the retest booked.

Did you also have to provide an MOT before they would register it? I have had conflicting information from DVLA and concluded that most of their downloads are at least a year out of date as most things stated related to kits tends to still refer to SVA.
