SVA/IVA evasion penalties?

[RobinOakapple]

Anyone happen to know the current legal position on a car that should have been SVA tested but which simply kept the donor registration instead?

I'm wondering if the DVLA would be empowered to seize the car?

Thanks for the info supplied so far, everybody, but the question remains as to what the penalty would be? Is it possible that the car could be impounded and/or crushed?

The car I have in mind is actually an extremely expensive replica of a 50s style sports car, and has apparently dodged SVA/IVA testing by using the registration from a car which might or might not have donated some of the parts.

It's now for sale at a price which would buy you at two factory built Ultimas and leave a chunk of change.
