Whatever way you do it you run the risk of getting nicked for illegal driving. Why do you have to MOT it if you cannot ride it on the road? You might as well wait till you get it legal.

Um, sorry for being a bit thick here, but what would be the point in getting an mot for a bike with false number plates?

No point in getting it MOT'ed until it is road registered as the MOT is done by the registration so if you use a false one when you register it you'd have to get it done again.

If it's a foreign bike I believe they can MOT it using only the frame number.

I'm sure what Scooby says is right.....

Also (and i'm not sure whether this helps or not) you can get away with riding a un-MOT'd vehicle to the test centre, so long as the MOT is booked with them, and therefore provable.

Just something I heard Wink

I would ask the insurance company if they would be willing to cover the bike for the purposes of taking it down to the MOT centre.

The worst they can do is say no!

They may well charge you 'administration costs' though.

I think most do say it has to be insured by someone else, but do check that.

I presume the 'v5' aint going to be in your name yet if you don't have a plate Smile

. So it's a mate's bike that you're taking down to the MOT place as a favour Smile

Hi

Done this a couple of times, twice with bikes and once with a car.

You need insurance, which can be done on the chassis number (but generally only for a limited time). You will need this insurance to register it anyway.

You can ride an unregistered bike to a pre arranged mot, even without registration plates, but it must be insured. The MOT will be recorded against the chassis number, and when you register the bike they will stamp the MOT certificate with the issued registration number.

All the best

I rode my unregistered Gixxer to it's MOT no problem, without Tax or a numberplate. The Police said it was fine as long as I was only taking it to it's MOT. If it failed I couldn't take it home though, and had to prove, if pulled, that the MOT was pre-arranged. Very Happy
