Thanks for this info i have had another go and will post application on Monday 2nd. I have looked up on the DVLA web and apart from the rubber wheels and springs which you point out is to do with speed but it also says that keeping metal or rubber tracks in a serviceable condition
so here's to hopping

Yes the serviceable condition is a a bit of a grey area, define serviceable ! The issue is you could be going down the road leaving marks etc, and if DVSA or police were to stop you as a result, their version of serviceable may be different to yours... it’s all a bit dodgy for me.

Correctly meshed and tensioned tracks with the pads checked regular and you will be fine buddy

Congratulations Richard, did you happen to get the name of the guy who sorted you out. I have my registration paperwork ready to be filled out!

Did you have to get the MVT to verify the age of the vehicle?

Cheers,

Great result, at this rate, there will be more carriers on the road than Ford Kia’s, which is not a bad thing
