MOT Advisory

I was amazed when the young guy next door put his 3 year old Corsa in for its first MOT - with the front number plate on top of the dashboard - and they passed it as "an advisory"

As long as it's visible it passes

Well, about 30% of the characters are visible unless you walk up to the car and stare down into the interior.

No wonder we see so many cars now without their front number plates.

Not a fail for mot purposes but illegal not to have it fixed permanently to the car when on the road

I believe it is supposed to be mounted on a ' flat surface facing forward '
