Its just too check that the car exists and that it is roadworthy,

to transfer a private plate from one car to another the car needs to be roadworthy, most cases they just ask to see the MOT but sometimes they book an inspection, its nothing to worry about

Yeah they do it occasionally. As above its to check the vehicle is roadworthy.

I think the thing behind it is something to do with people buying really old wrecked cars that have very exclusive number plates on them but the cars aren't road legal. Cant remember the whole thing behind it but its something to do with that...

Think its prob cos the car was SORN for well over a year before i got it MOT'd and taxed. As the car is a 1999 on an s so cant be because of the age

it could well be that, or it may be the amount of cars you have owned!

My mate had to do this. Random transfers are picked to check the validity of the documentation supplied, they'll just check chassis numbers.

Its to stop people applying to take valuable reg numbers off old scrappers which don't really exist any more. You need an MOT but thats just paper.
