Default Vehicle inspection by DVLA.

I have applied to transfer the plate off my old car onto my new one. The DVLA have written back to take it for inspection the day after tomorrow.

What will they inspect? Will it be a full MOT? It will not pass an MOT in its current state (warped discs). Do I need to worry?

Chhers.

As said above, nothing to worry about.

That I did, took mine down to DVLA, they checked all numbers where correct and matched the log book...i had a cheeky read of the form the had while they were busy looking round my car, and noticed the reason for inspection was due to the car being over 15 years old..they also check cars that were well known for being stolen back in the day or even now

Mine didnt have any floor numbers, so they also checked window stamps and engine number, took a while but if it had the floor numbers it would of been straight forward, and would of been done the same day, you dont have anything to worry about
