The system flags up dodgy new owner every now and then Dave, you must be dodgy ;D ;D ;D
I hope it won't take too long, maybe a cancellation will come up.

Me dodgy ;D ;D ;D I knew that penny sweet I nicked in 1977 would catch up with me. Shhhhhh don't tell work ;D

Used to happen every time you used a non manufacturer dating certificate but also you had to trailer it to the "local" office.

I registered an import 3 years ago and never had to do it ,but then you needed an mot to register it , was just having a rant ;D

I always get them MOT'd before registering regardless of needing it or not. Does appear to help, I haven't had an inspection so far. May just have got lucky though.

I had a 1972 Suzuki A100 I found in a skip, with no papers, so I rebuilt it, got it MOT'd, age verification from VJMCC, photographs of the frame and engine numbers, And sent off the documents, a few weeks later, got a letter asking to see the bike at my local DVLA office, which was 40 miles away in Bournemouth. They said I could ride it there as it had a valid MOT, and insurance, even though there was no VIN issued at the time. So I got to ride it on an 80 mile round trip, with no Numberplate!
I was shown a list of available numbers, and chose one, then given an age related number a week later, no problems. If you play the game by their rules, they are quite obliging, in my experience.
-
I don't mind a ride out on it as long as they got somewhere in North Yorkshire ;D
-
All the local offices were closed some time ago, lucky they haven't ask you to present it to them in sunny wales ;)
-
Im still waiting for that letter graham ;D ;D

Same happened with my K0 sent photos, vjmc letter etc etc but needed an inspection.
Pain for me was that I could only insure for 1 month on VIN but luckily got the inspection done and plate issued just within the month before insurance ran out

It's easier these days Paul as you don't need to insure the bike to get it registered. Happy days.
-
Yes I agree, even though technically it doesn't need an MOT, get one done. I got an MOT for mine and it sailed strait through.
-
Not sure, but I tend to think that if it's been MOT'd recently they appear to accept that as an inspection. Without an MOT they have no way to verify that the paperwork matches the bike so issue an inspection notice. Only talking from personal experience so I could just have got lucky with mine, but getting an MOT is way easier than DVLA inspection so it's worth the effort.

The other thing i know we are all perfect and do everything right but on a full rebuild is it not nice to have it confirmed?

Your dead right Bryan, on my 750F2 I went over and over it before the MOT but still missed the split pin in the back axle, potentially very dangerous. I hadn't fitted it whilst I waited for some stainless items to arrive then forgot about it. MOT fail but they were kind and put one in for me.
-
Yes your right Bryan and lesson learnt , next time I will get it mot first 8)

Recently looking at a car for my niece, turned out to be a insurance cat classification as uneconomical to repair, and so could legitimately be back on the road.
Both licensing and insurance said they'd want to see it through genuine MOT procedures to ascertain that it's not a ringer, effectively.
So it seems to at least confirm the existence of numbers through third party view that may assist in completing documentation.
Also speaking to a local MOT centre that does work for dvsa, he confirmed the same.
