Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval Manual updates 2025
From 15 April 2025, some changes will take effect in the Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval (MSVA) Inspection Manual. The updated manual has been published on the GOV.UK website alongside the current version.
The updated manual has a new format which includes a "Method of Inspection" (MoI) and "Required Standards". In addition, a number of changes have been made.
Key updates include:
Foreword - Introductory paragraphs revised. Exceptions to MSVA updated to align with scheme application form. Illustrations added to Application
15 Tyres - New Note 1 linked to RS 1 added to provide exemption for certain vehicle categories with conditions
22 Goods Vehicle Identification Plate - Clarification of evidence required added to MoI
23 Engine Power Restriction Information Plate - Removal of plate size requirement. Added requirements for character height and engine power in kW
All of the changes are explained in the new "Release Notes" section at start of the manual, and in the "Record of Revision" at the end of each section.
