This is a good question and I`am more than welcome to be corrected on this one.
My understanding on this issue is either reg date, chassis number or I,V,A by vosa and then Q plate. I took this from the 2013 manual its on line for all to see just type in VOSA 2013 /2012 TESTING MANUAL its all in there with all its inns and outs. But please remember its all down to interpretation, yours and the testers
modified vehicles.
Where a vehicle has been extensively modified or converted, certain Reasons for Rejection, such as for components ‘missing where fitted as standard’ should not be applied, for example: · a car converted for rally use (i.e. rear seats removed and fitted with a roll cage and full harness seat belts etc.) may have been converted so as not to require a brake servo, power steering or airbags · a car converted to a stretch limousine may no longer be fitted with curtain airbags or functional Electronic Stability control.
Vehicles first use date,
Reasons for Rejection Columns These list the defects that result in a vehicle failing the MOT test. d) Notes When carrying out each inspection, the NT should pay particular attention to the ‘Notes’ since they give valuable guidance on the conduct of the test and the scope of the inspection. 3. Vehicle ‘first used’ Dates - Application of Test Criteria NT’s will normally be provided with the vehicle details as part of the Vehicle Specific Information supplied by the MOT database. This will usually include the vehicle’s ‘first used’ date. Where this information is available, the NT should only use Reasons for Rejection applicable to the vehicle’s age. However, in cases where this information is not available or incorrect, the NT should determine the vehicle’s ‘first used’ date as follows: a. Its date of manufacture, if the vehicle was originally used without being registered in GB (e.g., an imported vehicle or ex-HM Forces vehicle), or b. Vehicles having a Q plate registration when presented for MOT are to be treated as follows: For emission purposes only, all these types are to be considered as vehicles first used before 1 August 1975. For all other testing purposes they are to be considered as being first used on 1 January 1971, or c. In any other case, the earlier of either: · Its date of first registration, or · The date six months after it was manufactured. This information should be entered onto the VTS Device to enable the NT to select the appropriate Reason for Rejection
However if tester thinks your taking the micky by putting abc 123 k on 3 year old motor and claiming it to be 1970 `s vintage the tester is within his / her right to refuse to test said vehicle
