keithjh Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hi All, Was today informed by a Traffic Officer, South Yorks Police that the "Q" plate system has finished and that "Age" related plates will be issued in the future. Anyone else now anything about this. Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siearl Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I have to say thats the first time i have heard of that, not that you see many Q plates around anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Can't see that. DVLA will not want a collection of s/h parts being plated as this years model/reg and if its not all new then what age do you put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else now anything about this. Regards Keith Not strictly true. DVLA prefer to issue an age-related plate if possible. Where the vehicle's age genuinely cannot be established a Q will still be issued, along with a VRO issued VIN number. AFAIK the Q system is not, and will not be abolished - it's just that Q plates are less likely to be issued. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1G UP Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I wonder if he's saying that if they can't Q it then it can't go on the road.period..destruction orders etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 So how do they determine what gets a Q and what gets an age-related plate, and also what age it gets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjh Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I wonder if he's saying that if they can't Q it then it can't go on the road.period..destruction orders etc etc etc. Well we will see about the "Q" plate issue shortly from this end i have a 94 110 chassis fitted with a 94/95 disco 300tdi engine plus auto box that i am about to register. be interested to see what they say, the body work is from various 110/90 models etc The "Q" plate issue came up as i bought a LR from eblag that turned out to be not quite "correct" shall we say and i was talking to the traffic officer. by the way no probs at this end as i bought the vehicle in good faith. Apparently DVLA and VOSA employ people just to watch eblag!!!! Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The DVLA are also providing more information on log books. On the bottom of the new V5C, there's a 'special notes' section. Mine has information about extensive repairs and an ID check back in Feb 04. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Always wondered, what happens if you decide to take a motor off the road permemantly i.e. use it as a trialer so you do not need to SORN every year? Do you need to prove that it does not exist? Whats the differrence of my moter on my drive no SORN, TAX or insurance and on my drive as a a purely off road vehicle only? If I say it's been scrapped and they see it then am I am guilty of some new Traffic charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Sid - presumably if you mark it as scrapped the DVLA take the logbook and probably re-use (/sell) the plate, so you'd be wanting to take the plate off it and need to re-register it if it ever went back on the road, they'd probably then demand a VIC or possibly an SVA depending on the state of it. Very similar to getting a scrapper and fixing it and putting back on the road - I got an age-related plate re-issued from a similar scrapped vehicle on mine.
