what did you do, anomously....

There seems to be some confusion of which inspection you are reffering to.

SVA inspection/Test or
DVLA inspection?

I drove to both, not illigal, fully insured. I drove 1/2 mile to local DVLA immediately after passing SVA, had my reg number inside 60 mins of passing the SVA

Me too
Though I went to DVLA first, then SVA, then back to DVLA with MAC in hand for registration

The inspection was carried out at home. I drove, insured, to a pre-arranged pre-SVA MOT inspection but trailered to the SVA test.

I drove to sva test legally, but I was told by wimbledon vro that I had to trailer it to them!
Apparently the sva is the same as an MOT regarding your road tax, but driving to the vro is not.
Instead, I got the inspector to come to me!
Bloody mad if you ask me!

I had them come to me on both my inspections.

Snap. I think that is common practice for Sheffield DVLA Chris. Or maybe we were lucky too........

Drove to SVA, drove to DVLA.
They asked me to drive the car up to them and told me as long as it was insured it is perfectly legal to do so.

me having taken car to DVLA for inspection, the transporter is just out of the photo. :

should get an age related plate and taxed for beginning of April.


Look at the building, you will notice that someone has stolen the stairs.

I too drove to the SVA

It was the first real chance to see how the car would do in the real world, even though i did have an MOT b4

I was lucky and managed to get a first time pass.

I can't praise the examiner enough. He let me sit in the car when it was on the rolling road to calibrate the electronic speedo accuratley. He let me adjust the mixture screws on the carbs to get the co level within spec and he even help out when the car was on the ramp with a weaping clutch hydraulic line joint.

What a top man

Wimbledon DVLA however would do well to employ some chimps as the staff they have at the moment are bloody useless.

They took at least 4 weeks to get my registration sorted.


Sorry about the Rant

I went to wimbledon after my mac and home inspection with papers in hand and they gave me a reg etc within 1/2 an hour.
Perhaps face to face is quicker?
