Hello all
It been a while but I am buying another kit car,my question is that I have seen a car which was Sva tested in 2006 using a donor G plate 1989. On the reg doc it states first reg 2006 however on the mot info it states 1989 as per donar car. Is this normal tittle of car on both is the same

Regards
Mick

probably too late for you now but that sounds ok to me


first use/reg should be when it was resisted after the IVA/SVA


the age of the donor has nothing to do with the IVA/SVA, except if thats being used as part of the proof of the engines's age at the test - this sets the emissions limits for the car, but to get these limits all they'd actually need is proof that the engine is pre-Aug 1995
So on a BEC the emissions limits will have nothing to do with the donor car




once its registered - the V5 should then show the emission level from the SVA/IVA so that the MOT testers have know what to test it to



in addition to that (and totally separate from emissions) if they used enough qualifying parts from a single donor then you can get the age related plate when its registered - if you can't prove this you get a Q plate.
this is just recognition that while its a 'new' car it wasn't built from all new parts
(with age related being for a known source of parts and Q plate for unknown or too many different sources)


of course if someone has swapped the engine after registration it may be newer than the one used at the SVA, but the emission limit doesn't change.
