Ok we all know we can drive to IVA providing insurance is in place (even if some of the plod think differently!), however I had always thought, &
I'm sure there have been discussions on here recently about this, that you most definitely could NOT drive to the DVLA for inspection for
registration purposes?
Just got my letter from the DVLA asking me to bring vehicle for inspection & the last line of the letter reads
"Also for the purpose of the inspection ONLY, the vehicle may be driven to & from the office."
Well you can't say it clearer than that can you? I assume this must be a change of policy?
i had read on here that some offices do things differently, so it may not be the same across the board, but thats good fingers crossed they're
getting some sense lol
hope they all see sense like that
for MSVA I can ride the trike/bike to the test, but for the DVLA bit they wont allow you to, not at Exeter anyway, has to be off the ground, I did ask
if I took axle stands and put it on them, would that count, they werent too impressed LOL
Keep a copy of that letter! I tried and failed to a letter from borham woods DVLA local office, they came out to me in the end.

When a friend of mine registered his car at Exeter DVLA, they didn't even want to inspect it. They said they would accept IVA cert as proof of engine & chassis number. Change in policy apparently!!
A few years back the DVLA in aberdeen came to the SVA station in Aberdeen and inspected there....
