The other fail item was it ran out of fluid in the winscreen washer bottle.

Seems you can get an MOT against the chassis number.

So now it is insured and MOTed, and waiting for a IVA appointment.
Hello Chris - welcome on madabout........

There are a few of us building Cabrios who will be very interested to hear your experience under the new IVA - particularly the petrol tank.
Do you have any pictures you can post here?
I have a BT Flickr site, which is very easy to post to.
