Yes its because of the 25mm clearance.
When I set my suspension height I even consulted the MVA to make sure I was in compliance. The only information I could find was that no part of the cars body could be below the lip of the rim, and the headlights needed to be 56cms.
The inspection manual is the document that isn't actually legislation. Where the MVA is. The CVSE isn't law, its an inspection guide that is more in depth than the MVA. And yes, I didn't have 25mm clearance, though, I did explain earlier, I did have much more than 25mm, of suspension travel based on the angle of compression, shape of the tire, fender, etc.
To be fair, after a certain amount of abuse I was a fucking asshole and didn't help the situation.
As for history with the police.
0 arrests
0 points on my license
0 court appearances
2 tickets in 2011 for expired license and use of an electronic device

Reason for seizure of plates. My car was a "danger to public safety, and not in compliance with the MVA"
