If the car was over 3 years old when it was imported it doesn't need an SVA.

 

A friend of mine has just put a deposit down on an 8 year old 45000 miles RX7 Twin Turbo. This car was imported from Japan by a dealer in Ipswich, but the dealer said it hasn't had an SVA test and that it doesn't need one. Is this true?

As above BUT the regs are due to change from July 2000 and new test for vehicles up to 10yrs old is brought in!
