Good news, my car has passed its IVA test today!!!
Fairly uneventful apart from my route to the DVSA site was blocked by the police attending a car and trailer that had taken a bend too fast and tipped over. This meant I had to take a detour up a single track road which was a bit exciting.
Different tester this time who started by checking off the list of corrections without much comment and then ran the brake test. Front brakes passed okay but the rears were marginal at 58% versus the requirement of 60%. This would have been a fail except the tester suggested I changed the Axle Design Weight from 1500kg to 1400kg to which I agreed and it passed. It was just a technicality as the rear brakes are still bedding in and would likely reach the 60% quite soon.
After that he went off and wrote out the certificate and I headed home before the rain came.
Registration documents sent off today, so we'll have to see how long the DVLA take.
Happy days............
