Q plate vs Age related
Hi all can anyone tell me the pros and cons on each be doing a bit of browsing but not found enough info on the matter

Pro of a Q = no emission testing at MOT time:)
Nothing else on a kit anyway IMO. |
if you have a q plate you cant swap it for a personal plate.

Bit of an old thread to wake up perhaps but i'm looking into this at the moment so saves starting a new thread that might only get one or two responses.
What level of proof would really be needed to get the benefit of a new registration- are we talking receipts from major car manufacturers for each major mechanical part or would receipts from local engineering companies be likely to do the trick e.g; £ 1,000 for purpose made gearbox from XYZ Engineering, £ 1,200 for rear axle assembly from ABC Automotive etc. How close to the wind can this go ? Has anyone heard of someone being knocked back for trying this ? |

Only Q plate prior to SVA is visible smoke. After 1998(SVA) the the emissions requirement is that printed on the log book that was determined at time of SVA/IVA. That's what the MOT test manual including the new one for 2012 says. It's the same for Q or age related and since the IVA came in it relates to the age of the engine. BV. |

As Ash says you can now transfer cherished number onto an age related but once a q always a q. Age related requires almost all parts from a single donor type. Q will allow you to fit an alternate engine. BV |
