MOT Failure Question

[Rob.]

Got my lil mk1 Project thats on a 93 plate so it has to have a cat. (bare shell atm )

If i get a 90 donnar car. and change all the vin plates / number plates / chassis numbers..

so making the 93 a 90 so it doesnt need a cat for its mot.


or is this just completely illegal

or does the emissions go off with engine the car has ECT Ect ??

 

[Rob.]

Also the 90 donnar car will get the 93 plates / vins and get scrapped.

I believe that it's illegal to change any chassis numbers

 

[Rob.]

:-( But would my theory work so i wouldn't need a cat ?

that's called ringing. illegal. 93 is a crossover year for cat/non cat. Have a word with the MOT place and see if you need one or not

Just take it to someone who will do a bent mot

I know a garage that uses a Ford KA's emissions for the test

thing is i want a good mot Checker to make sure the car is good and safe for the road.

why dont' you just put all the bits from the newer car into the older car and use that ? leaving the vin number alone

yeah, It's proper illegal to go fiddling with Vin plates.
