why take it to a test station, I have heard more than once that this can cause its own problems as your car at this stage is logged with the DVLA
requiring a test within 12 months,. Could be wrong on this
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I wanted to get the emissions tested and speedo tested as my car has a gsxr bike engine in it and im worried that it might not pass the car emission
test.

I was told categorically by many members on here not to bother
getting it MOTed beforehand as its on the system and as above
you need to get it tested every year then!
whereas if not you get the 3 year "free" period!

Yes i see what you mean now i dont realy want to be getting it tested every year for the first 3 years. Once theyve got it recorded i think i will
have to get it mot'ed every year thanks for that!

I don't think they could check your speedo for correctness anyway, think their brake tester only runs at something like 5 mph. I got my emisions
tested at my local garage, they had the gear to do it, and at SVA it was exactly as they said. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Re Insurance - I went with Frank Pickles and got a year at £ 120. Agreed that in case of accident I would repair thus saving labour costs and Pickles
would pay for the parts.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

You can still ask the MOT station to do a test to MOT standards without the certificate
Basicly the garage will pocket the money,
I think it would be a very good idea to have a neutrol check over the car, especially underneath !!

Ditto for me, no special agreement though, and it came in around £150 i think. I'm 27, no 'no claims' for that policy, limited
mileage to 4k, locked up in the garage at night.

How can it be registered for needing an MOT every 12 months if it hasnt had IVA and therefore not registered and so no registration??
