Pay the appeal inspection fee by credit or debit card (DVSA will tell you how to do this after youve applied), or using a pre-funded account. It costs the same as the original test. If the appeal is upheld (either in full or in part), you might get a full or partial refund.
If your appeal is accepted, your vehicle will be re-examined by an independent inspector.
Do not modify or carry out any work on the vehicle before the appeal inspection. It could affect the outcome of the appeal if you do.
