Ainsley Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Yes I felt the same, I was very specific and they commentated that they specialise on Caterham's and Kit Cars and said they knew all about it. I have it in writing just to be sure with the dates. However, I wont be driving more than 20 miles on local little used back roads, I don't want the bother of explaining it all to a copper who sees it all as a bit odd. I'm just going to bed the brakes in and do a few hard runs to run it in. It will actually go to the PBC in a trailer. I remember being pulled over by some traffic cops in the past on my (road legal) competition off road motorcycle. No lights, no indicators etc. I had to explain all about hand signals and daytime use only. Back then you still had a tax disc, so showing them that sort of made them happy on the basis that it must have an MOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No requirement for me to have an expensive tracker either. You may be insured to drive (which I find VERY strange) but you're not legally ALLOWED to drive. You don't have an MOT. You can only drive without an MOT to an MOT centre (of which the IVA test centre counts in this case as an MOT centre as you then get a 2 year MOT exemption). The Caterham Silverstone site doesn't count ..... unless they're a registered MOT centre and you're booked in for an MOT. However if they then give you an MOT this causes the system to insist you need a new MOT every year despite the IVA meaning you don't need one.

Ainsley Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Yeah, I agree, that sounds right. The insurance company hasn't really thought it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too… to a pre-booked IVA test only (and if it fails, direct to a place of repair/correction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
