The VIC Scheme was introduced by the Government in April 2003, all Category C's notified to the DVLA will have to have a VIC check before a V5 (Logbook) is issued and then the vehicle can be returned to the road.
The VIC Check will help confirm the identity of the vehicle, the check is not to confirm if the vehicle is roadworthy, but please note that the vehicle must be substantially repaired prior to undergoing the VIC Check. You have to apply to the Vehicle and Operator services Agency (VOSA)
You will need to complete an application form providing the Vin Number, the registration make and model etc. and a fee of £38 (current price) is payable in advance.
The check takes about fifteen minutes, they compare the vehicles details with information held by the DVLA, once passed the result will be stored on the computer by the DVLA, you will also receive written conformation that the vehicle as passed.
Only when a vehicle as passed, will a V5 be issued. |
