A bit of a boring topic I know but earlier I got overtaken by a 60 plate marked up e90 on the M4, he was doing about 120mph as he passed with his blues and twos on, it was also a saloon (with black wheels!) rather than your usual touring. I put the reg number into the mot history check as I was curious as to what sort of mileage it had on it and interestingly it came back as never being moted? Do they mot the cars themselves and not put it on the official database?
I was under the impression that traffic cars are replaced by the time they get to about five years old?

Thinking about it now, I'm sure I can remember Dyfed Powys police using a marked up xr4x4 Sierra in Ceredigion up to about 2000.

So was that an early 90's car......used in the 90's ?

Yep, I'm sure it was a late one a K plate but that would have still been a seven to eight year old car in 2000.
