The part you quote loggyboy is at the initial outset of the book. There are many added changes and updates etc from that point on. I would refer you
in particular to Point 2 on this page which is specific in its relation to amatuer built kitcars requiring sva ( iva may now differ)

ITEM 2
Emissions Testing Kit Cars and Amateur Built Vehicles first used on or after 1st August 1998
(Classes III IV & VII)
These vehicles are required to obtain Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) and will receive an emissions
test at SVA. All petrol and gas propelled kit cars or amateur built vehicles first used on or after 1st
August 1998 (S Registration Onward) are subject to the BET test, followed if necessary by a ‘cat
test’ to default values. The only exemption to this is where evidence is supplied by the presenter to
confirm a lesser test is required i.e. age of engine or the emission standard applied at SVA.
Compression Ignition powered kit cars and amateur built vehicles will also be meter checked.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Whilst it is at the beggining, its the official and current mot manual (2012), it would therefore overide anything older than that.
However, as with any legislation, its down to the interpretation of the manual by the tester

That statement only seems to cover SVA/IVA and not an MOT?

LOL Loggyboy. I would certainly agree with that ( interpretation of the manual) so what can we glean from this discussion.
The dvla can't agree with each other or with vosa
Vosa likewise don't agree with the dvla
almost all things government based are ambiguous and uninterpretable
most of us have differing opinions on the interpretation of the rules BUT we all agree with each other that there should be more consistency and
clarity.
And finally its not likely that it will ever be sorted out ( not in my lifetime at least )
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
