SVA and IVA - General info please
Tipster69 - 19/2/10 at 11:03 PM

Hi,

Before we embark on our first build, I wouldn't mind a VERY basic understanding of the IVA and SVA test criteria.

From reading the forum, the IVA appears more thorough and costs considerably more, is this correct?

Is it still possible to use the SVA test or is this now "defunct"?

If not what is the criteria that says it can be done under SVA?

Thanks in advance

IVA now superseeds SVA - you have noe choice if you are building a road going car.

That was quick

Thanks for the info

IVA (or SVA when i did it) isn't as daunting as you might think. Just make sure you do a neat and tidy/professional job all they wat through your build and you wont have many problems at all.

Most of all...... enjoy it

Am I right in thinking the cost of the IVA Test is £540?

£450 and the retest is £90 but then the test does take a full day. i had mine today and it started at 8:30am and finished at 5pm

Hi,

It was after reading your post that prompted me to post. Good Luck with the re-test.
