Probably has “off road / track use only” or something like that embossed on it, like some of the Willwood (spelling) brake stuff.

Hmm, not sure. The normal car SVA is a lot tougher than the commercial vehicle one I'm building my truck for. The commercial test requires a low fluid level warning light, mounted in view of the driver, with a means of testing it works. That usually means a button built into the reservoir cap. Presumably cars need a warning light too. My reservoir also has minimum & maximum fluid levels marked on it.
Other than that, not sure what else it could fail on.
As far as I know, trikes aren't required to have a warning light.

I think you have to have a level censor and warning light fitted to pass the SVA (may only affect 4 wheelers though)
