 |
|
I have always been under the impression that if a car was 10 years or older (to the exact month) then it will not require an SVA test. Recently, importers have been telling me that regardless of what year we are in, any car made after 1st January 1997 will require SVA.
Please can anyone confirm?? Id hate to import a Jan/Feb 1997 manufactured car, only to find out id need to SVA it!! |

I have been informed it's to the month although I can't confirm this. The DVLA website only states:
"As part of the registration process, DVLA will need to be sure that an imported used vehicle, that is less than 10 years old meets both European Type Approval standards and UK Construction and Use and Road Vehicle Lighting legislation."

Probably best to call the DVLA. If you manage to find out please post back here as I would be very interested to know! |
