Jason Plato Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I wrote and asked if the cars which were registered pre sva would be subjected to any new test limits : Dear Mr Jackson Thank you for your e-mail of 30 October in which you ask if there is going to be any change to the emissions level to which your vehicle will be tested at its annual MOT test. I can reassure you that there will be no change to the emissions standards for any kit car registered prior to the introduction of the SVA test so your vehicle will not be required to meet more stringent standards than it was designed for. SVA has been mandatory for certain types of vehicle since 1 July 1998 and concerns have arisen that vehicles that have been designed to meet the SVA standards should be tested to those same standards at their annual MOT inspection. The procedure for such vehicles is that they will be tested:- to the manufacturers test limit values, if applicable or, to default limit values, unless the vehicle presenter produces a letter from the manufacturer to show that the engine was never designed to meet default limits and should be tested to seperate limits as defined in the manufacturers letter. Where the engine is not new the engine will be tested to the appropriate limit for the engine but the onus will be on the vehicle presenter to provide evidence on the age of the vehicle. In your case ,however, your vehicle will continue to be subject to a visual ceck only.
