i know this because i work in this industry and have done many many cars needing vic tests
In future I would read the original question before contradicting one of the answers mate, he asked what was required for a vehicle to be DRIVEN to a vic check. That is what my answers were based on.
the following information is taken directly from the VOSA website
7 If the car is to be driven to the VIC it must comply with the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use)
Regulations 1986 and the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989, have a valid MOT Certificate if it
is 3 years old or over and the person driving the car must be covered by insurance to do so.
A car can be driven directly to and from a pre-arranged VIC without road tax.
8 If you need to obtain number plates for a car with a VIC marker, please contact VOSA’s National
Number on 0870 60 60 440.
9 A car may be taken to the VIC on a trailer but arrangements must be made in advance with the VIC
site manager.
All cars must be capable of being driven under their own power.
