IVA
Hi guys,
I'm nearing the end of my first build, and I'm just wandering how to go about getting the car IVA tested. I've looked on the net and
DVLA website and it's all a bit confusing. If you could piont me in the right direction for forms and info that would be great.

IVA testing is done by VOSA not the DVLA - yes the joys of dealing with multiple government departments 
Start here

Good luck
If you don't already have it the most important source of information is the manual
http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/Transport_Theme_files/124_IVA_M1_Inspection_Manual__Version_4.pdf
ETA: Worth talking to MNR as they have a good handle of the test with respect to their cars.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Dan,
Ring VOSA and they will send you the form pack. Fill it in and follow the guide notes. Make sure your build manual is up to date as you need to send a
copy of all of that to VOSA with the forms (inc Photo's).
VOSA will ring you to take payment £450 if by card. Then someone will take about a week to process your paperwork. You will get another call to agree
a date and time. The paperwork and appointment details will then be sent to you.
Take all the original paperwork with you to the test inc photo's.
In terms of DVLA paperwork, ring DVLA (number on website) they will send you a pack with the V55/4 (if a new build) V55/5 (kit built from donar parts)
and a few other V--- forms to fill in. You will need the MAC form (IVA pass certificate) to help you complete the forms. You will need Insurance Cert
and proof of Id details) Send or take to your local DVLA office and arrange an appointment (£55 reg fee plus Road Fund Tax).
This I know as I am at this stage right now. I failed the IVA on the 17th May with 3 minor issues (now fixed) my re-test is next Wednesday and I have
part completed the paperwork for DVLA Popping odwn next Tuesday morning with paperwork to arrange an appointment.
Good Luck......... Neil
