The UK's first official VEF for in-house IVA testing
ShipMyCar is the UK's first official Vehicle Examination Facility for in-house IVA testing. We prepare your vehicle in our Milton Keynes workshop and present it for its DVSA-conducted IVA test on our own test lane, so it does not need to be transported between our workshop and a separate test centre.
