This subject is such a minefield. Does a new name (eg for my car Make Rickman, Model Ranger) mean it is under the radar? as the Rickman hasn't had any changes (but of course the Escort that donated most of its parts 'changed')
What is the MOT tester's involvement with any vehicles he thinks aren't as registered and what are his guidlines/training on identity? When I take my kits for MOT I always take the V5 to avoid any mishaps, but even then when I took my Quantum for its first MOT the tester wanted to enter the details on his computer as 'Ford Kit Car.' Thankfully I managed to stop him, but without the V5 I'd have maybe had an invalid MOT? A minefield, not helped (it would seem) by DVLA changing tack over the years and localised differences as well when the 'local DVLA offices' did the work.
