You can also drive to "a place where you are going to get something done to pass the SVA"
I used this one to set my digital speedo over a measured mile (several times)
Tee-hee me too, a five mile round trip a few times for calibration purposes of course!......and clutching me insurance papers.............

Check yer insurance.
I heard of 1 company (cant remember which) that would insure you to drive to the SVA centre but weren't covered to drive back if it failed

 Good point Snuggs, I had thought of that, and chose an insurance company that covered that scenario, in fact, as a previous post said, its better
to get a prior MOT certificate (proper) before taking it out on the road the first time. Happily, in my case, it passed SVA first time.

Sorry to ressurect this post but apparently it is up to the local DVLA office as to whether an MoT is needed to register an amateur build vehicle.
Basically they all have their own local work instructions and don't talk to each other.

Again, Sorry to bring this post to the fore again, BUT, Hazard warning lights ARE subject to MOT test regulations depending on age of vehicle and if
fitted ( I think it is pre 74 ish that you do not need them but if fitted they must work, including tell tale and switch function)
Used to be an mot tester. Vauxhall switches were notorious for failing.
Enjoy.

the only way to be sure is to phone the local police station. if they dont know, ring the local VRO. basically you can, but you need to make sure the
police know you can, to save some ball ache.

Providing you have appropriate insurance you can drive an unregistered car to an MoT or SVA test. The only grey area is driving to get it registered
some say you can some say you can't, but if you have your SVA/MoT in the same day and the same area then you should be fine taking a detour to
the DVLA office.

You can drive an unregistered or car without an M.O.T. to an M.O.T. provided it is booked in and you have insurance., may be worth informing test
station that car is unregistered and needs to be tested using chassis no.H.T.H.
