IVA fail from 2011
Good evening all,
This is my first post on the forum.
My question is regarding a retest of a MK that failed IVA back in May 2011 that has been stored until now.
would I be able to get the car accepted for test without having to prove Amateur build with pics and Invoices etc?
This has obviously already been done when the car was accepted for test in 2011 under the IVA scheme.
We do have the fail certificate from VOSA as proof of course, but no pics, just a sales invoice for the Chassis kit back in August 2005.
Thanks In advance
Mark

I'm pretty sure there is a time limit on retests.
So my guess will be full retest,paperwork from back then won't come into it.

Also, I'm afraid there are several changes to the tests from then to now. The retest limit is 6 months and after that, a full new application is
needed.
Sorry
Jason

You should download a new IVA guide, and check over everything it says on the forms relating to your car, measurements and positioning as changes
would make you fail if not updated.

I think the OPs question is more about amateur build status than a 'retest' based on the previous fail?
If so i dont think this is something that would be questioned heavily by them, its a declaration you make so would need something really odd to make
them question it.

I've now had a reply from VOSA.
They have told me to make an IVA application, including the fee, so they can consider it?
They flatly refuse to answer the direct question on lost build pics, even though there is a previous failure certificate from themselves.
I give up!!

I don't think pictures of the build are important. It's clearly unregistered and didn't come from Ford etc. I'm only taking
pictures where things are a bit hidden like the seat belt mounts, inside the tunnel, behind panels, dash, wiring etc just to make the test
easier...
What receipts and documents do you have? Mk should either have a copy of the receipt if you can give them a name and date. Their only trying to make
sure you haven't stolen the parts to build this car. If you have a V5 for the donor that should cover all the important parts.
When I was buying my part finished kit I went round all the mechanicals checking the numbers matched.
