SVA Guidance
The Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) scheme is a pre-registration inspection for cars and light goods vehicles that have not been type-approved to British or European standards. The main purpose of the scheme is to ensure that these vehicles have been designed and constructed to modern safety and environmental standards before they can be used on public roads.
The Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test is administered by the Vehicle & Operator Services Agency (VOSA) for the purpose of obtaining a Minister's Approval Certificate (MAC) which is required to register the vehicle. The test is concerned with standards of construction (unlike the MOT test, which is concerned with condition). These standards are outlined in the SVA Inspection Manual (obtainable direct from VOSA) which we recommend kit car builders obtain (cost £35 at time of writing). |
