When I did mine you had to put them through a SVA test to get a log book not just an MOT, not sure if that is the case now. Don't worry about getting any hassle from the law, you won't unless you act like a dick Well funny enough I did a bit of research yesterday and supposedly you can have a 'Daytime MOT' and not worry about half the stuff above. A 'Daytime MOT' is basically a standard MOT except if the bike doesn't need to have lights, indicators and mirrors. The garage told me as long as it has a manual parking brake, horn and road legal tyres that would be enough to get it through. an SVA is for agricultural use and requires quite a few modifications to get it through. I believe once you have an SVA you don't need to tax or MOT the quad? Correct me if I am wrong! Quote
711jrp Posted December 5, 2017 Report Posted December 5, 2017 I'm not 100% of the rules now but when i did mine five or six years ago you needed the sva certificate to get a v5 (logbook), you could register it as agricultural without a sva cert and then re-register it as plg but they have got wise too that loophole and you can't do it that way. You will also need a letter from the manufacture or the supplying dealer (when new) conferming the date of manufacture otherwise it will end up on a Q plate. Quote
Glenyboy Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 You need sva, for plg. Otherwise agricultural limits you to 15mph, and a few miles travelling from your home. But rules are changing next week. From the 1st of January you may not be able to get a banshee road legal.Check out quadtech’s site for details Quote
JimJones Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 How did you go about shipping from the US to the UK and how much did it cost? I ask because i am also considering shipping a quad internationaly but havent done any research on this yet Quote
711jrp Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 sorry for the late reply, they were available to buy over here as off road bikes. Quote
