Quick MoT test question ....
Permalink  
 

Hello all,

 

My newly acquired TTR will be going in for an MoT test next week, but I have one question. The original number plate assembly (regular size plate, reflecter, number plate light) has been replaced by a slightly smaller number plate, with no number plate light and no reflector (it has a red rear light still of course).

Would this be a reason for a tester to fail it?

Thanks, Nigel.

The bike SHOULD fail on that, it depends on how lenient your MOT tester is with you.

One thing I am (fairly) sure of is that you need a reflector. Get one of those cheap stick on round ones and put it on a corner of the number plate. The MOT garage will probably sell them.

I tend not to take chances on MOTs and, if a TTR has had its rear number plate holder and rear light removed, I make sure that it has it replaced. Not worth taking a chance of having to take the bike home to do repairs and then take it back for a re-MOT.

Thanks all, you confirmed what I suspected. I will put it back to normal for the MoT. Just glad I though about it before I went.

 

Nigel.
