Does anyone know what is the procedure now for the quick look-see that used to be undertaken by the local DVLA office before accepting the details on the initial registration form?  

I notice that there is now a separate item defined as a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) billed at ~ £41 now only available at the same centres as undertake IVA.  I have scanned both DVLA and VOSA sites on this matter and found plenty on new parts vehicles and repaired vehicles but could not find anything definitive about kit cars made from second hand components i.e.donor parts.  The item on how to register your car still refers to the SVA test and as far as I can make out states incorrect fees.

Anyone had any experience of this with recent SVA/IVA testing?

Thanks,
