DVLA vehicle inspection should I be worried?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sesman:
They came to inspect my CB500. They used a contractor. During conversation I got the impression it’s a random inspection to ensure it looks, smells and feels like it was described and significantly representative  of the vehicle it’s supposed to be. Unless you have heavily modified it I wouldn’t worry.

SteveW:
Thanks for all the info guys.

The guy coming tomorrow is a contractor arranged by the DVLA. Bike is 99% original so hopefully it’s a formality.

You can never tell with the DVLA though.

The most frustrating thing with them is on the V55 form they ask for an email address and phone number in case they need to contact you but they never use them. Instead they just reject your application each time and post the lot back so you end up back of the queue.

Trigger:
It is just a normal check to make sure the bike is all together. I have known people to try and get a V5 but, all they have is the frame.
They wanted to do a check on my UVA buggy once and asked, was it at the registered address for a inspection. It was already on a Q plate but, i think they wanted to check if it had been modified anymore since its inspection at the time of registration. I advised them that it was at my address in Greece and they were welcome to visit anytime for an inspection. Never heard anymore from them  ;)

SteveW:
Inspector has just been, he said he can’t see any reason why DVLA would not issue a plate now.

He also said that the inspections are picked at random, so it’s just bad luck if you are chosen.

His report goes back to DVLA now so it’s just more waiting.

Sesman:
The contractor turns it round immediately. My notice of registration arrived 5 days after inspection.

Congratulations on the approval by the way.
