So you have a VIC 21 with the reason for failure and are awaiting the Police and or DVLA to investigate?


"If your car fails its VIC

You’ll get a VIC failure notice (VIC21) with the reasons for failure. The case will then be investigated by the police or DVLA - this may take several weeks.
If the car’s identity is then confirmed you’ll get your VIC20 pass certificate.
If the car’s identity can’t be confirmed the VIC marker will remain on the vehicle record.

Assuming the vehicle just has a few MOT compliant dents in the quarter then you have no option other than to appeal.;
