IVA age related

[StruanR]

That was my experience in 2010. The only issue was the donor car engine number did not match the V5 so I contacted Fiat to provide a letter confirming the engine build date.
The only anomaly for me is the inconsistency of registration. My V5 shows date of 1st registration and date of 1st registration in UK as 2010. I've got 3 years before an MOT. I'm sure I can also muck around with age related reg plates too.
I believe Struan had a different experience with dates and MOT.

Yes, I had inconsistent rulings with my cars, one ended up being registered as new, one as age of donor, requiring annual MOT!

This link, taking you to the IVA thread on the old site, covers a lot of the IVA info, still useful for anyone going that route.
