DVLA will need to inspect the chassis/engine numbers to turn your MAC into a V5c.

After you have your MAC from SVA/IVA, you take that to the DVLA ,a long with all of your completed forms and first reg fee, and they will inspect, and
sort the V5. It is not optional, and it does feel like a a waste of time, but it has to be done....

i dont think so as I removed mine. He is checking both your and the cars identity, ie chassis no, engine no. mileage, new bits etc.
They do not check for road worthyness although they would like to I'm sure.

Yes 99% of the time post IVA, though I've seen here that some offices have done the inspection first, you can always rely on the DVLA to be
inconsistent. One or two DVLA tests have even been done at the SVA centre but that doesn't seem the norm.
You don't need all the SVA/IVA padding etc. still attached as they can't/don't inspect anything as that isn't their job and
they don't have any equipment (VOSA and DVLA aren't linked at all it seems). But as you can't really drive it before getting plates
it's probably worth leaving it all on just in case someone decides to be a jobsworth.

When you go to the local DVLA office (who organise the inspection).
Don't forget to take your receipts if you are after a new or age related plate.
Also don't forget to take your insurance certificate. For some reason they need this as they like to issue V5 and tax disk at the same time (at
least OXford DVLA do).
Finally Oxford DVLA required a letter saying that I didn't mind having a Q reg. Not quite sure why they have to start making up NEW forms when
there are loads already, but who am I to argue (I just thank God that I don't have to work in a DVLA office).
