MOT & Number Plate Size?

[Wabby]

Any ideas what size plate has to be for MOT?

Is this likely to pass?

What restriction?

Depends on the tester...that seems large enough to me.

Short answer: 9" x 7"
Medium answer: depends on the characters on it and the MOT tester's whim.
Long answer: The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 as summarised here.

Mine has, several times.
I always go to the same honda dealer.
It's the size as that.

That will not pass the MoT as the numbers have all mixed together Probably from being kept over night in the TARDIS.

DVLA have a whole website devoted to such nonsense.
Google DVLA. Go on...

A MOT tester told me last year that the MOT people have tightened up the regs on number plates since the introduction of ANPR. Also, they have had trouble with certain bargain basement fitter type establishments telling people they need new brake discs when they don't, so apparently any scored or worn brake discs (even dangerous ones) are supposed to be an advisory rather than a fail...

So, to sum up, the regs on brakes have been loosened, and the regs on number plates have been tightened.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I'm about to put the Savage in for a MOT and it has a slightly smaller than normal number plate. Since it's registered before 2001, I thought the requirement was more that it had to be readable from 15m :-

Might just stick the legal one on anyhoo

Didn't you just buy that anyway...?

Surely, you'd have wanted him to get it MOT'd

Usually I would insist, but I was happy when I checked the bike over - the MOT items that needed looking at (other than the red reflector) were the straight through exhaust and an undersized number plate, both of which I've got legal replacements for in the box of spares that came with it.
