Just spoken to DVLA today ..chasing an application that has been taking ages for a customer . They had insisted on an MOT ..Yesterday I decided to challenge it ...spoke to a guy that was very familiar with the S*mmio range of re-bodies ...said he'd processed a few and couldn't see why an MOT was required for a straight forward re-body as his interpretation of the rules didn't require it ...he couldn't comment further though as it was his colleagues case but would have a chat with him and get him to call me back today ...10 ish today ..phone rings , apology from DVLA about requesting an MOT , no need to do that ..logbook on its way !! RESULT ...Just wished I had questioned it a month ago when the letter arrived !!
