As I understand MOT rules if you take a new car and put an old engine inside it has to pass old MOT standards - but you need to prove engine age.
You take an old car and put a new engine in and it has to pass the MOT standards for the original chassis.
Now here's the the one I'm not sure on, the Sportsters first registration date in my case is 2007. So is the chassis classed as old or new? It has an age related plate which would lead me to assume that the engine passed F plate regs, but then the date of first registration is only a year ago.
Meh I hate "grey" area's when it comes to this stuff.
