mot

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Arseholes. It doesn't. It's a different body on a Vit chassis. It's a Vit.

To be fair to the MOT center it doesn't look like a Vit and if the guy wasn't sure then the correct response must be to refer it upwards. Its inconvenient maybe but if you have a radically altered vehicle then it has to be expected occasionally. Its good to see that they are at least considering whether or not SVA is required, there seem to be a lot of dodgy vehicles about.

Just refer him to the 8 point system.

He'll soon see that everything apart from the body is original and totals up to a lot more than 8 points

Has the chassis been modified? a number of them have had the chassis outriggers replaced with box section to get MSA approval. If that has been done then it may well need an SVA, unless it can be passed off as a 'repair'.

Pleased it passed it MOT, should have taken the build instructions I think it says in the back no SVA. I`m going to have to change my avatar picture now to represent current incarnation.
