Sorry have I offended you? I have been trying to help/ clarify a MOT issue that is not new and has been causing confusion for many years. The
'black and white' which you linked too has the answer but I am not going to argue the toss with you.
Thanks for the offer of good luck but I don't need it in this case. My car, Q plate and registered in 2004, is still smoke test only and this is
how it was tested a few months ago (well after the last update to the regulations).

As a tester, you carry out pre checks before you start an MOT in accordance with the introduction section of the manual to establish the testing
standards to be applied for that vehicle.
If the vehicle is Q plated, it has no defined date of first use, therefore the dates given in that section are applied for that vehicle.
The post 08/98 kit car limits are only applicable to kit cars with a first used date newer than 08/98, with a Q plate this date is considered pre
08/75, hence the visual only check.
The Q plate MOT requirements have not changed in the time since the Q plate was introduced, the layout of the manual has majorly changed 3 times, but
the relevant content has not.

So you are all saying that anything with a Q plate is not a Kitcar?
Q plates can be on all sorts of vehicles from imports, trikes to modified landrovers, not just kit cars. The regulations for emissions will not change
just as they don't change for old classics or vintage cars as it is assumed that to meet modern standards would be technically impossible. It
its correct that only a smoke test applies to Q plates and will continue to be that way.
To the OP yes feel free to alter the engine post IVA, you will probably have to get a garage to do a written confirmation of any capacity changes but
that's easy. I myself have swapped 2ltrs to 3ltrs with no difficult and compared to tin tops the increase in insurance is laughably cheap.

a what?
URBAN DICTIONARY TOP DEFINITION
Boomer Boy -
A person who was born after the baby boomer generation, but feels sympathetic towards boomers, doesn't have any friends his age and usually
hangs out with boomers, listens to music from the baby boomer era, and shares interests with the many boomers he's around. Usually thinks he is
smarter, older, and more experienced than his peers and thinks he learns more from boomers than actual education. Thinks he is tough and smart,
although he cannot take jokes and gets offended if anyone even jokes about baby boomers. Basically, a white knight, but for baby boomers.
Person 1: "Boomers need to stop thinking we're so stupid if they don't even know how to use the internet."
Person 2: "Shut up or I won't talk to you again! They're smarter than you think!"
Person 1: "Quit being a bleeping boomer boy."
