Mot chaps are carefully checking them to see that they conform to the DVLA records. Alas, many do not know the different between a body number, and chassis number. MG cars of 1938 to 1955 have their body number plate esily seen on the LHS of the dash, but the chassis number is on a 'MG Car Company' plate on the side of the battery box. Other makes will be similar. The body plate number is often taken as the chassis number. Its number goes onto the Mot computer, you then get a letter telling you that the VOSA records do not comply with the DVLA records, and your are to get an age certificate, and lose your current reg number, getting an age related plate instead. Plus it costs yoy Ł38 to re-register your car, plus the cost of the plates. Be warned.
