I am getting ready to make an appointment for an MOT test as its due and was wondering if they can fail the car for having a small number plate at the front??? :roll:

I am sure the MOT regulations now require the tester to specifically check the number plates for the BS kite mark and font size / spacing etc. My exige failed on the plates (front one too small) but they made me a proper one to pass (12 quid I think) and I will stick it on next mot time

Hopefully that helps
