LancelotLink Again well said
I regularly get customers who have a "iffy" registration and unfortunately there not much they can do about it without putting the car at risk .
My only advice to them is to make sure it's has a current MOT and it's insured properly ie; photos and spec sent to the insurance company so if the worst happen at least your covered as best you can.
Am I in the amazing work, ok work or cringey work category as well. ??
