This guide provides an overview to the motorcycle single vehicle approval scheme (MSVA), which is a pre-registration inspection for two-wheeled mopeds and motorcycles, three-wheeled and light four-wheeled vehicles that have not been type-approved to European standards. MSVA checks that vehicles constructed for non-European Economic Area markets comply with British law. MSVA also checks the construction of amateur-built vehicles, rebuilt vehicles and vehicles using parts from a previously registered vehicle meet modern safety and environmental standards. It also provides an alternative to type approval for vehicles manufactured in very low volume.
