Sva Dvla Directive

[Guest dremmel1]

This was posted last night on the Cobra forum

 

I have just received copy of a VOSA Directive. It reads:-

 

Dear All

At a recent meeting with the DfT I was given an action to remind those people who have recently passed an M1 (car) SVA retest to ensure that their vehicle is registered with DVLA by the end of December 2009. You will recall that SVA certificates will not be accepted by DVLA for M1 (cars) vehicles as evidence of approval for registration after the end of December.

 

May I ask you to contact those people who have recently had a car SVA retest, and been issued with a certificate to remind them of this date.

Thanking you in anticipation.

 

Regards John

So if anyone has passed an SVA and not yet registered their car with DVLA you need to get it done by the end of this month otherwise you will need to put it through the new IVA test

 

Is everyone here aware of this, is it correct :o

After a call to the local testing station it is correct and has infact been extended from October because they have had so many complaints due to lack of communication. (WELL FANCY THAT !!)

I have to agree, it is all very confusing, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, but hey, nothing new there then in goverment. It's not untill you wander along in the new year and they say " sorry mate you've missed the deadline didn't you know " that you think S*** You Ars**es make it up as you go along.
