Theoretically its possible the insurers could use a non sva compliant area to try and wriggle out of a claim; if they could prove it contributed to the accident; but in reality short of a full sva re test to check compliance its not going to happen. The wise kit car owner tells his insurer his car is a modified kit, and theres no issue.
