Arseholes. It doesn't. It's a different body on a Vit chassis. It's a Vit.

To be fair to the MOT center it doesn't look like a Vit and if the guy wasn't sure then the correct response must be to refer it upwards. Its inconvenient maybe but if you have a radically altered vehicle then it has to be expected occasionally. Its good to see that they are at least considering whether or not SVA is required, there seem to be a lot of dodgy vehicles about.

Just refer him to the 8 point system.

He'll soon see that everything apart from the body is original and totals up to a lot more than 8 points

Has the chassis been modified? a number of them have had the chassis outriggers replaced with box section to get MSA approval. If that has been done then it may well need an SVA, unless it can be passed off as a 'repair'.
