As far as I'm concerned if you're trying to avoid an IVA it's because you think you're likely to fail it as buying a donor to
swap parts from would cost just as much. I'd be worried the car you'd created would be a death trap.

It would fail on all the bits like sharp edges, exposed nuts and no radius on the dash etc, but would probably pass an MOT. I think I will trailer it
around and when the temptation to drive it on the road kicks in, I will have to go through the pain of the IVA.
Do most people remove the IVA stuff (edging, side indicator, and nut covers etc) after they have passed, or is this part of future MOTs?

But at least the car had been visibly inspected for decent quality welds properly installed components etc and a load of other stuff that
isn't checked during an MOT test . Agreed, my Sierra steering wheel came off as soon as I got home from SVA , a bit longer than the tester
suggested which was to fit the "correct" steering wheel in the test center car park after the test. IMHO anyone who does as the OP
suggests deserves to have the car confiscated and crushed
