bought a salvage fiesta that just needs an inner wing and strut

now i need to travel up to darlington from scarborough to get to the nearest VOSA centre.

does anyone have any experience in this field at all?

direct.gov say the vehicle has to be repaired.......now does that involve putting all new wings and bonnet on etc or are they just looking to see if the car is what it should be and that the structural work has been done?

any help is gladly accepted as it gonna become a little project but i was hoping to get the V5 problem sorted first so i could get on with the rest knowing its sorted.


thanks fella's

 

they purely check the chassis number etc, car must be vertually repaired it also must be mot'd if your driving it there or so they say but ive driven there loads of times when i cant be arsed to load onto the truck lol

 

There is a Vosa Centre at Beverly mate, no need to go all the way to darlington. Thats if beverly is closer to you. i took a car the other week.literally ten minutes. Check the vin check the chassis, you can take it them not fully repaired as said, Dont think they like it if its still smashed up as theoretically you could then ring it.

 

You have to book it by aplication, they will then contact you to book it, i did one with my debit card, Ł41 iirc, and thats it. They just make sure you havnt rung another car by checking the vin etc, thats it. You get a vic pass and a v5 aplication form.

 

i do them

 

lol thanks thats really helpful!

 

i thought i checked properly aswell!

beverly is much closer so i'll go there -

i'll make sure that the structural work is done before it goes then its just bodywork in my own time.

thanks guys

 

id get it a good percentage done mate ie ready for paint at least
