By week 30 of 2026, Wheelbase Engineering had completed 374 external Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) tests for customers — and the number continues to rise.
That represents more than 12 customer vehicles for every week of the year so far, demonstrating the demand for accessible and reliable commercial vehicle IVA testing.
External IVA testing three days a week
External IVA testing takes place at our Darwen facility three days each week. This helps vehicle manufacturers, dealers, converters and operators get completed vehicles approved and into service without unnecessary delay.
We currently have appointment availability throughout Q3 and Q4 of 2026.
Whether you have a single modified vehicle, a specialist conversion or a larger batch requiring approval, our experienced team can help you plan ahead, prepare for inspection and arrange suitable test dates.
Book your IVA test
If you have vehicles approaching completion, speak to us as early as possible. Advance booking provides more time to confirm the vehicle specification, identify any approval requirements and reduce the risk of delays before the vehicle enters service.
To discuss commercial vehicle IVA testing or our upcoming availability, call Wheelbase Engineering on 01254 819399 or email info@wheelbase.net.
