Will this plate pass an MOT?
Discussion

I think what people are getting at is that the plate would read exactly the same if it was spaced legally.
Could an MOT tester fail the car because of the plate? Possibly. Is it worth the hassle for the sake of it being illegally spaced, when it would read exactly the same if legal? Not in my opinion.
Bang on the nail...Could an MOT tester fail the car because of the plate? Possibly. Is it worth the hassle for the sake of it being illegally spaced, when it would read exactly the same if legal? Not in my opinion.
no such combination.. may be "ROS 1E"..? Which sold for £35K + VAT Etc 29 years ago....!DSLiverpool said:
Dare I mention VE15 TAR (current project) looks like I’m the plate pariah, I have named 3 companies after number plates as it’s easier to do that than buy the plate afterwards.
Makes me happy and that’s got to be a win.
Multi million pound Yorkshire car dealership group "JCT 600" did the very same,founded by Jack Tordoff in the early sixties...I see the plate regularly around Leeds...Makes me happy and that’s got to be a win.

6+k for that
What a mug ...
I think Mr Soloman has purchased wisley and as long as displayed correctly "SO10 MON" will certainly only increase in value as many many past DVLA auction plates have proven time and time again just as I have been offered several times more for my number on more than one occasion,I just look at it as a bit of fun but an appreciating asset with absolutely no maintenance costs.....What a mug ...
You're brave posting that up. You'd be safer admitting that Madie is in your basement than admitting a doctored plate on PH.
I think it's a great plate and that you shouldn't give a toss what the plate pedants say to the contrary. I think it should pass, my lightly doctored plate hasn't failed a test in 7 years.

I'd fail it..all day long. Some of my customers have dodgy plates, and at MOT time I always make them stick the legit ones over the top. For the small amount of time they're in the test bay, and the chance a DVSA employee could rock up for a site inspection, not worth the grief for the sake of some sticky pads and a pair of plates

You appear to be correct, this thread proves there are people with more money than brains, still. Fermit and Sexy Sarah said:

No one is saying that it’s not a great plate, in fact quite the opposite in that it’s so good there is no reason to mis space, be it a mistake by the dealer or as in your case, vanity.People complaining that it should be failed for being ‘illegal’ but do they feel the same about people with modified cars and de-catted exhausts passing with a friendly mot tester? Iv had mine on without the space on previous cars and just thrown the legal ones in the boot and never failed or been questioned. Who cares if the space in the middle is a centimeter or an inch, no butchered letters trying to change/hide the identity, fine to me.

That's right. It's still a butchered plate though.
So a major fail.
I think its a great plate and aI have a mate called Solomon who'd love that ....
If you saw this parked up would you nudge the missus and go 'oooh look at that majir fail in life, what a knob' upon seeing this plate ? No doubt in a really Normanesque adenoidal tone ....

Illegal, chavvy, cringeworthy and crappy.
If you cannot see that you really need to have a word with yourself.
Essentially no different to this pile of crap which in the same way as a crappy chavplate also places the vanity of the owner above the law:

Honestly listen to yourselves, who actually gives a s
t, its clearly readable and its not like its written in some st italic writing with his surname, address, and sexual tastes written in little letters beneath.
Yep, looks like a pretty decent plate to me, and I hate private plates. I do love the logic that a plate is crappy because of one little space, all private plates are a bit chav in my opinion, but one space isn't going to turn it crap, it's not as though it's been butchered like you say.Honestly listen to yourselves, who actually gives a s

A major fail because it uses a number as a letter to attempt to spell a word and it is also butchered by incorrect spacing.

It's absolutely nothing at all like that plate. You keep convincing yourself though. Illegal, chavvy, cringeworthy and crappy.
