Can DVTA refuse to carry out the VIC?
Yes. DVTA reserves this right. DVTA will refuse to carry out the VIC and the fee will be forfeited if: • The vehicle does not arrive at the appointed time or place. • The relevant fee has not been paid subject to the payment conditions stated on the application form. • The vehicle emits substantial quantities of avoidable smoke. • The vehicle or any part of it is so dirty that carrying out the check is unreasonably difficult. • The vehicle or its contents is in such a condition that a meaningful check would involve danger to a person, or damage to the vehicle or any other property, or that current health and safety legislation cannot be followed. • Sufficient repairs have not been carried out to support the intention of returning the vehicle to a roadworthy condition. • A door, tailgate, boot lid, engine cover, fuel cap, floor covering or other device, capable of being opened or accessed is locked or fixed so that a thorough check cannot be carried out. • The check cannot be completed
