Recovery to IVA
I am all booked for my IVA at Mitcham this Friday (5 November)
I was wondering if anyone has used a recovery agent to get their car to the center and which one that gave good service?
Thanks

You need insurance, but driving it there is quite a popular thing to do.
It does feel wrong though.

How do you get insurance to drive it to IVA? No number plates, not registered etc, is it legal?

My first drive was from Penzance to Exeter SVA, 110 miles! I MOT'd the car first to make sure it was (provably) roadwothy, insured it on the
chassis number, made up a set of plates 'SVA TEST' and even got a wave from a Police bike who was chasing a speeding Volvo! Passed without
any tweaking and had a thoroughly good day.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

We gots ours insured on the chassis number (which we made up and wasn't registered anywhere !) the "SVA or bust" sign is obligatory
and makes everything legal and above board

I,ve just got my quote from 2 Together, as per the links on this forum, very helpful, quoted on chassis number up until the car is registered then
will receive updated insurance docs when i can supply the reg number.
cheers

I got quotes from all the specialist insurance companies from adverts in the mags'.
Check how long it can remain insured on a chassis number. Usually a month before you have to give them a reg', which can be a problem if you
have a bad fail or difficulty with DVLA. You can loose the insurance and the fee if you don't get the reg'.

Adrian Flux insured mine on chassis number.
oh, and generally is is short term, like a month so when they ask whe you want it to start, set date same as IVA date.

Don't think there is anything in the rules that says 'IVA Test' plates are required when driving to the test. As long as it is
insured on the chassis number and you are carrying the appointment letter everything should be OK.
Footman James will insure on chassis number.

I think FJ will extend the chassis number cover if required.

Putting plates on could fall foul of the law as you are running the car on false plates. MOT station warned of this and recommended no plates for SVA
after I tested mine years ago.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you don't drive it, how are you going to bed the brakes in, and maybe loosen up the steering a bit?

Book it in for an MOT in the next town. You're probably going to want to do that anyway, prior to IVA.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

I'm almost certain that you can't book an MOT for an unregistered car.

Unless things have changed since computerisation which I don't think they have it is possible to test a car using the chassis number

Frank Pickles don't set a fixed time for having it insured on a chassis number. When I asked about it, they told me just to give them a call
back either when it passes, or to let them know if it was a really bad IVA fail that's going to take ages.

I'm going by what i was told by my local MOT place earlier this year.

If so - bugger.
Obviously you're not going to get an MOT certificate but I'm sure on here it's often been said that you can drive to a pre-booked
MOT test.

Best to check with your local test station, but the guys at my place are pretty sensible, so much so it didn't even occur to me to try
elsewhere.
