If your car fails it's SVA you get six months to re-test it. Therefore, if you fail now it gives you a further six month's to avoid IVA. However, if your car fails on it's re-test do you get yet a further six months to test it again?

no, the car must pass within 6 months of the orignal test. if not you start the process again.

Kurt passed his re-test on the last day before his 6 months was up!

Mike

you have a six month deadline for re-test but you can have as many re-tests in the six months as you want
