Replacement chassis

If you have a space frame chassis kit car that is involved in an accident and requires a replacement chassis, and you replace it with an identical replacement chassis, will it need IVA or build up inspection?

To clarify we are talking caterham onto an identical replacement from arch who made the original chassis.

No IVA required if you replace with a chassis of the same design.

In addition it will only require a VIC if it's been written off by an insurance company, otherwise you need nothing (unless the MOT has run out during the rebuild).

Cheers. Exactly what I thought but had doubt put in my mind by comment regarding the above on another forum.
