Hi Huw,

If you are registering the 40 as a new car, then it wont need an MOT for three years, even though its a kit. Hope you get the fail pionts sorted ok. Things that yours has failed on probably would have passed in Taunton. Height of indicators, glass markings, speedo visability etc not checked on mine luckilly at Taunton. Its been said that the test centers can only pass a maximum number of cars a month, so even if your car is perfect, it will fail if the maximum number has been reached already. I helped build a Freestyle Buggy kit a while ago and the SVA tester kept checking it over and over till he could find a fail point, which was a blade fuse at the top of the passenger foot well not being to the radius criteria, and his recomendation was "tape a plastic ice-cream tub over it".

Hope it's on the road soon, Jerry
