Refurbishment for New Registration
Just wondering what level of reconditioning have people had to their 'one major component' to bring it up to 'as new' standard
to obtain a new registration (with everything else new of course)?
If its a relatively new low mileage engine would new engine/gearbox oil, filter, plugs etc and an inspection of bores and bearings suffice? Especially
if new induction (throttle bodies, filter etc) exhaust, fuel systems have been used. Has anyone done this themselves with receipts for these parts or
must it be done by a garage/specialist?
What sort of cost have people had for this reconditioning by garages?
Also if its a car engine does the engine and gearbox count as 'one major component' or is that two?

Engine and gearbox are 2 separate. Except for bike engines which are combined, so would need to be new.
Reconditioning an engine to as new would need to be quite comprehensive imo, but all dvla would want is a receipt. They aren't going to inspect
bores and cranks for wear. Just make sure the receipt you provide makes it very clear its to an 'as new' standard.
Its more common and cheaper to buy a crate ford engine and recon the gearbox as new gearboxes are expensive. But obviously that depends on your chosen
source of engine.

Every thing else being equal, what is a likely difference in value of a vehicle built using all new parts and therefore a new registration as opposed
to reconditioned parts and a Q?

Depends on who your selling to. Typical Kit car owner, not much. Someone who isnt familar will add a level of ooooo factor.

There is the middle line, all parts coming from 1 doner = age related plate

By ' inspection of bores and bearings' I meant as part of reconditioning process to identify what would be needed (if anything) to
recondition, not by DVLA. Especially from point of view of doing this process yourself, supporting this with any receipts for parts used.
The level of skill to build some of the cars on here would certainly enable plenty to recondition an engine.
Engine and gearbox being two separate units is the deal breaker for me!
Age related would have been fine but never received V5 with donor parts unfortunately.

Shouldnt be too hard to get an old V5 from a similar car.

But surely they would know if car was say a write off as it would have been taxed up to that point? You would need a car that would have been declared
off road for some time, especially f its been a long build.

Do DVLA still inspect cars?
