MOT advice

Post by Mikey V8 » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:18 pm

Ive just had a letter from DVLA, they have denied my car UK registration due to me not sending them in a valid UK mot. I thought that I could not MOT it until I had it registered with a UK reg plate, so the question is, how do I book a car in for MOT with no reg or anything at all?

You can use the VIN for first MOT, that was the same situation when i first registered mine.

you don't need a reg. number (or you can use foreign number plates if fitted), or as James says use the vin.
only details you need is the original date of first use/ registration, fuel type, colour and vin.

but you do need MOT before trying to register the car
when they issue your new reg. number the will also issue a replacement MOT with new number on it
