Having just built my Tornado with the very clear expectation of putting it through an IVA test (4 hours and £450, plus £90 for the re-test), I’d suggest the ‘fear’ of an IVA is far, far worse than the process itself.
I did mine in order to be fully legal - I have a very real concern over ‘weekend bobtails’ having seen a biker die at the roadside following a collision with a mate’s vehicle - fortunately, we were all legal and praised by the Police for the proactive way we had handled the incident. However, it’s driven home how vital it is to be squeaky clean… any issues and I suspect we’d have had a very different story.
As to the trailer build - the costs don’t look prohibitive and simply work with the manual to ensure all elements comply…
