MOT Testing: Registration Plates

One of the elements that will be checked during an MOT is the registration plate. This is tested in the MOT test to make sure your registration complies with the Road Vehicles' display of registration marks regulation.

To pass this element, you must have a clear and visible registration plate that is fixed in place. To comply with regulations it must be the right colour, characters must be straight, the font must be the right font and size, and it must not have any damage or deterioration.

If you own a car, your automobile must have one plate on the front in white and one fixed onto the rear of the car, which is yellow. Vehicles first registered before 1st January 1977 do not necessarily have to follow these exact regulations, as you can use the older silver and black registration plates. Check with VOSA when your car was first registered and the regulations for your registration plate.

The regulations also vary according to type of vehicle, for instance, motorcycles are not allowed to have single line plates like cars. Another rule is that if your vehicle is registered for the first time before 1st September 2001, you can use registration plates with a three line format.

An MOT test will check that your registration plate is fixed and clearly visible in order to help enforce traffic enforcement cameras in the U.K. It also helps with eye witness accounts. It's vital that registration plates are correct and up to standard, in order to protect the public and create safer roads.

The registration plate will be checked out by your local MOT test station once a year. However, if you car is under three years old, it will not need to be MOT tested till its third year on the road. In the event that you fail your MOT, your MOT tester should tell you the problem and if it can be fixed. Until it is fixed, you are not legally allowed to drive on the road. You can also seek to appeal against the MOT test station's decision if you believe it to be incorrect.
