Not necessarily depending on who you know. Lets just say I got a plate back recently and the car hadnt been on the rd for 6 years.
However as per above, someone else on this site wrote to the DVLA explaining that the plate was stuck on a car with a snappet timing belt/chain and it was an uneconomical repair. They gave the plate back ont he understanding that the car was scrapped.
SO dont give up hope yet.
