The new rules do make for interesting reading

I didn’t think anyone was aware of how the new rules were going to be implemented until later in the year including the police?
I fail to see how a standard MOT place has this prior knowledge to fail a MOT.

What was it about your plate that caused it to fail the MOT?

I was just told it didn’t comply!
I also had a slightly posey 4D plate on the back - plain black with standard colour background. “Interestingly” enough the new plates they put on are still printed with the old BS code [finding this an increasingly ironic acronym] so I’m struggling to see what’s changed as per the rules given the old plates passed fine last year. Live and learn I guess? |

Dorset smith Have you a source for the new information?
I was under the impression that the decision was going to happen later in the year and probably going to be on a “grandfather rights “ scenario?

Some of the searches threw up a mention of grandfathering-type clauses but so little definitive/clear sources here it’s quite frustrating. Why don’t I, as a vehicle owner and a citizen etc etc have access to clear, definitive information directly from the overseeing authority?!

The more I read into this thread the more I believe I was the MOT station’s “interpretation” of the new 2021 rules in order to up sell some new plates  Formerly mao99999

Even the traffic police don’t have definite information as of yet. Boy racer video but real advice.

The DVSA are upside down at the moment, commercial vehicles are still on extended MOTs ongoing!

In relation to pressed and 4D plates, Rev E of BS 145 requires:
"The complete retroreflecting background area of the number plate shall be a continuous and substantially flat surface, except that an integral raised or depressed border, of width and height not exceeding 5 mm and 2 mm, respectively, is permitted around the number plate periphery." Therefore 2d text only. Steve 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread 84' 90 3.9 V8 Caged Pickup Build Thread - Now For Sale |

You say you had a slightly posy rear plate....... would it have passed under the old mot standards or were you always grateful and relieved everytime it went thru it MOT out of interest? 2015 HT XS 90 2008 SVX 90 2000 XS TD5 90 |

It had the old BS standard printed on it and I never gave it a second thought! It was as close to a normal plate as a 4D one can get if that makes any sense? Simple black lettering on the yellow BG
