Lenders sometimes keep their own records for longer than the six years. If you don't declare it and it is found out it would be classed as fraud.

Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Depends entirely on the wording of the question, if they ask. Soime ask if you have 'ever' been in an IVA, some put a time scale on the question. Some talk about 'being' in an IVA some say since it started or ended. And a few, apparently, don't ask at all.
I can only advise you to answer honestly --- a lie is fraud. You might get caught out.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
