This could be the end

Sounds to me like the DVLA are going to be making alot more people put modified cars through the IVA test (as some already have to) the test costs £500-£1000 a go and is like an uber strict MOT.

Im all for making sure mods are safe but I think the legislation goes too far saying that stuff might have to meet modern emissions regualtions if its modified in any way.

So ok ive fitted a back box to my GTi6, lets go and get it tested and see if we can meet euro6 emissions, nope that wont happen, and into the £700 a year (or whatever it is) tax bracket we all go.

No one said it had to meet modern emmisions standards. It has to meet the current standard at the time the car was produced. So it will be an end to things like decats and some heavy engine mods that increase emissions but this always has been the case with mots!

This just summarises this thread; people have read the title, read that Ace guff and gone "OMFGGGGG THE END IS NIGH, REPENT AND YE SHALL BE SAVED"

Just putting words into their mouths; the fact of the matter is very little will change. I would suggest that the changes will be more felt in countries where MOTs are not regulated; this legislation is actually trying to unify the code of practice and equipment and procedures and training across the EU. I highly doubt you or I, in this legislativ-crazy country will actually notice any difference whatsoever...
