Title: IVA Test
Post by: Bulldog Bri on 05, May, 2009, 10:52:52 AM
Trying to get some info on the new 'IVA test' that is replacing the 'SVA' test i can arross this web site from VOSA. looks like the Eruocrats have got their paws in the money pot to, as the cost of the new test has gone up from £120 to £450.... Why? does it really take that much more time to conduct with more paperwork for these people to process? I doubt if it is really, but who are we to complain. If we want our cars allowed on the road we have to fall into line. Good old Euro Britain, standing up to Brussells again.

I've certainly noticed an increase in the number of unfinished projects for sale on 'the Bay' lately and can only assume it's due to the new IVA introduction.

Must admit, I thought long and hard about it, but then decided that the government is not going to stop me acheiving what I have dreamt about doing for many many years :D

If I don't spend the money on the test I'll waste it on something else!

Come the revolution...........:)

There is a very good simple to understand article on the IVA test in the latest 'Complete Kitcar' Magazine.

They have also put a very nice micro write up and link to us. (Thanks Ian)
