Some need inspecting some slip throught the net. Costs 35 quid if i remember right. You need to take it to a VOSA inspection centre and they check that it is the car it should be. ( not a ringer). It will then have a note on the logbook saying that it has been checked.

Its sometimes better if they do need a vic check, the £35 you pay also includes a new logbook aswell wich usually cost £19 and all being well if the car passes the vic you can tax the vehicle with the pass sheet from the test as proof of ownership instead of haning on for the logbook to come through the post to tax the car.
