FTO Information - SVA Information

Imported vehiles that lack Type Approval need to be tested prior to registration. Older personal imports only need MoTs, but most cars under 3 years old need to pass the complicated Single Vehicle Approval Test (SVA Test)

The most common Modifications to the FTO are :
Speedometer conversion into MPH
Fitting of a rear Foglamp
Restricting the Fuel filler neck
Undersealing (sometimes but recommended anyways)
