He also said I had passed the attitude test
He liked the fact I had read the IVA manual and wasn't depending on information from some guy in the pub .
I go back there for retest on Tuesday.

Hi Guys,
Since my test was abandoned and I have to pay the £450 again I was wondering if I could just go to another station.
Mitcham are all booked up until at least mid June so I thought about trying another station.
Has anyone done this before? They said they could fax the details over to another station but I'd have to make the payment to Mitcham first. I
can just see it going a bit wrong but would like to get the test done ASAP really.

Blimey that sounds better.. No they are not budging on the price. The tester is away "In June, but not all of June" I've been told but
not sure what that means.
Thinking of just re-applying and starting again since the wait is so long.
I'm Based in Eastbourne in East Sussex.

you don't have a fail certificate, so anything that was tested hasn't been logged.
Yeah just need to work out he quickest way to get a new test. I can't believe it takes so long to get a test.. surely it can't be that
popular.
Think I'll try calling Gillingham and Southampton. Does anyone know their direct numbers?

IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY......DON`T GO TO GILLINGHAM.
I`ve heard some real horror stories. It`s my closest (25 miles away) and my family are close to there.....and I will still be going somewhere else.
And I failed at Gillingham, but the tester was really nice, laid back and extremely fair.

First test ( in December so probably not busy ) I had to wait about 3 weeks. Retest arranged in two.
Don't forget they don't just do IVA on kit cars, they test every kind of vehicle from Scammel recovery trucks down so the wait is not just
due to masses of kit cars turning up.

I'm half tempted to give up with the IVA and use the car on the track. I've paid about £450 for insurance (which I cant use atm) and have to pay another £450 to the govenment now. Its so frustrating.
you're nearly there. What about putting it on a trailer and taking it further away for a quicker test date?
Don't throw the towel in, it could be worse........ you're engine could go pop 4 days before your test

Hi Lowcost,
I feel your pain! Mitchem failed mine in April and I had to wait till today for the retest. Apparently it is because they only do IVA on Monday and
Fridays and I had the bank holidays and some posh blokes wedding getting in the way. Keep with it, I had excellent fun driving back with a little
sideway action to boot!
