Iva retest

[Lee Raybould]

Hi all I'm a newbie to this forum. 

Last month I purchased a 2b unfinished project from 2002, the model with the sliding pillow suspension. It was taken for the iva test but failed put in a barn and forgot about.  With the car I got failure paperwork and other documents, my intentions are to finish the project and enjoy it. After cleaning it up ang carrying out the alterations I'm going to book it back in. My question is how long are you allowed between test and retest as I know I won't get it right first time .

Thanks all.

Welcome, believe it’s 6 months.

As above that’s my understanding also.

6 months, it says so on my refusal document Passed now so ok.

You get 6 months from the initial test to apply for a re-test, after that it'd be a full full test again (and the full fee).
