does a car have to haev a valid mot or is there a date or expiry that the mot can be in order to remove a plate off a car ???


my mot runs out end of jan but i dont think ill get it rebuilt intime to get the dvla to inspect it

 

It has to have a valid mot AND tax! If its not taxed, it has to have been taxed within the last 6 months at least!

 

Blatant post hijack but what is the score with getting the original plate back on a car that has a personal plate on it ??

 

yeah its within the last 6 months

 

i knwo the tax rule but to remove the plate does the car need a mot ???

as in couldnt ya say the car is off the road, failed mot and so i want to remove me plate plase ???

 

as i can get it taxed again no probs, getting a mot on a car thats never gona be running again is gonna be hard, ive gotta dummy fit a engine and box and tell em its broken down ya see


hence why im asking


also need a passenger side hub to make the poxy thing run too

 

nope, it -has- to have an mot! I know this as when i stripped my cossie I was originally going to sell the plate seperately and as the MOT had run out I literally had to get it MOT'd the same day that it started to get stripped DOH!!!! Ł35 wasted, even more so considering I ended up selling it with the shell/logbook anyway

 

not fookign good then

better book time off work adn get it sorted out asap then

 

Not always will someone come out to inspect it. When I removed my plate it was out of tax but declared sorn. Sent the form & cheque away and received the retention certificate not long after

 

yeah tis a pain in the ass, I phoned DVLA to question it but they said no way without MOT and tax. Worse thing is, you dont actually own the plate either, just the rights to use the plate against the car its registered too, hence scrap the shell or sell it on and the plate goes with it

 

yeah i knwo that much biut the website dont state it needs a mot for it to be removed

 

no I know hence the reason I got it MOTd the day it was being stripped, nearly lost out but had a tip off and phoned the DVLA and thats what they told me so quickly phoned gaz @ CPP who was stripping it for me and told him MOT it first! Give DVLA a call first thing in the morning and tell them your predicament, see what they say and how they can help

 

be a shame if the car wa nicked



wonder what they will say then

 

Fraud.

They might even say have u been on the passion ford site latley sir.

 

m they could di but im sure the comment may change

 

Well heres the deal, theirs 2, yes TWO screwes on either side on BOTH plates (usually under the lil ingenious caps!!) pop the caps off with a flat driver, then unscrew with USUALLY a philips, but may also be flat headed so be ready!! once undone, pop off she falls, easy, same as normal plate pmsl

 

Do any of you want to ring his neck or will I do it

 

 

Leave me alone you dirty perv
