a friend told me that the new regulation states that you need a car numberplate with the postcode on it of where the car was MOT'd or your car will fail, is this true?

yes all cars registered after sept 2001 must have the name and postcode of the plate where it was made it must also have the code d145 written on it ,also now you cannot have any personel logos down the side and any funny looking backgrounds on the perspex a lot of new plate laws have come in since 1st oct this year

It is not true. Your friend was joshing with you.
Perhaps they were being confused by the first two letters of new-style numberplates, which indicate the registration district.
There have always been location indicators as part of a numberplate (the last two letters of the old style 3-letter plates) but that's never been an MOT issue.

That is the first i have heard.
I would have thought it has to be recorded on the DVLA database that that numberplate is registered at a certain postcode, rather than actually appearing on a number platye. That could lead to serious crime if you drive a nice flashy vehicle!

Thats rubbish. Just had mine MOT`d and it passed and it even has the name of the previous owner on the numberplate.

Answer this one for yourself - How many cars do you see on the road with a postcode displayed on the number plate? Cant believe i'm wasting my time on this, but it's so stupid I had to!!

you only have post code on your number pklates if you are a dealer and dont provide id of car and ownership when placing a brand new number plate on the car.
when replacing a broken numberplate.

The number plate must show the details of the plate supplier. This is a measure to cut down on false plates being used to dodge traffic tickets

Totally untrue. New car registration letters give the location of where they were first registered but that is all. Nothing to do with the MOT.

True! I loved my first car. Unfortunately, I totalled it; making it my only car so far. But it's ok because, where I live, I don't need one. Anyway, I loved it.
