I'm in the process of buying a car at the moment, and the owner is removing the personal plate.

I've HPId it and the plate and VIN are all ok.

The thing is, he will start the process to remove the plate and have the original one put back on shortly, but I guess the DVLA will take some time to do this. I was hoping to go buy the car next week, but I guess I'd have to wait for plate change back to standard with the new V5/tax disk etc?

He says the DVLA reissue the tax disk, but what about MOT? Is the old one with prev. reg on it OK? (As it also has VIN number).

Cheers
