TECHNICALLY none (except possibly some differences training on the c/s prop).
Your SEP (Land) Class Rating entitles you to fly ANY aeroplane in the Single Engine Piston (Land) class.
Of course to jump into a Cirrus and attempt to fly it having only ever flown a Cessna 172 would be very stupid.
Realistically you would need a few hours conversion onto type - a Cirrus is a 'lot more aeroplane' than a Cessna 172.

A "check ride" is American for a skills test 
An Ikarus is a microlight. You can fly one on your SEP (Land) class rating following differences training.
You'll find that it has substantially less inertia than your Cessna.

Does this mean 'difference' training with Microlight Instructor to then be examined, thus put as Microlight, a different class into licence or is this differences training with 'owner' until he's happy for you to take his aircraft

So hypothetically,
Would it be possible to train for a PPL on the Cessna 152, then legally hire and fly a Cessna 172 to take up (non-fee paying) passengers, etc. Or alternatively having trained on the Cessna 152 would it be possible to fly a PA-28 without having to do a type conversion for example?

Surely, to fly a Ikarus C42, on a JAR or UK PPL, a microlight rating would be required. That would require differences training and a skill test from a microlight examiner or an SEP FE, approved by the BMAA. The other way would be to attach a microlight rating to a NPPL, but again that should need a test. Further comments please, especially from anyone close to the BMAA/LAA.

As of now, in the UK, I don't think we have a VLA rating or aircraft VLA category (check the latest ANO amendment). On NPPL you have either a SSEA ,SLMG/TMG or microlight rating. On a JAR/UK PPL you would have a microlight rating added. As far as I am aware, the C42 is only flown as a microlight in the UK. The best source of info on this , as I said above, is the BMAA/LAA.

A JAA licence has embedded Micro-light privileges so only differences training recommended. No class rating or skill test.
An NPPL requires the ML rating added to it which is training and a test. The SSEA does not have embedded Micro-light privileges.
