Trade plates cover Road Fund License, nothing else. So has to have mot, unless going for prebooked mot.Garage trade plates cover no MOT as well. Not all trade plates are the same.
No, they do not cover absence of a valid MoT (for vehicles which require one).

NO trade plates cover mot, I have a set, I have the only form you use to apply for them. They cover RFL only. Clearly states vehicle must have mot and insuance. Unless its mot exempt. As in new car, etc
I used to be a mechanic and worked in main dealers and they most certainly did cover non-MOT’d vehicles. They used to have a triangular shape in the middle of one of the plates with a paper certificate in it which I believe might have been orange? It’s been a while so I forget the colour.

That triangular certificate (one per pair of plates) was in effect the “tax disc” in the days that we had paper discs. It had to be renewed every year (just like a paper disc). The paper certificate was removed in around 2002, and now it’s all done and is checkable on-line. The triangular certificate did not cover the absence of a valid MoT - it’s not needed anyway as whenever a garage is moving vehicles to/from the workshop or to the testing station it is covered by the normal exemptions.

Nope, it was just the “tax disc” as said above. They dont cover mot when one is needed. They just allow dealers not to have to register an tax every car.
I bet the OP is impressed .

What from getting correct information so he doesnt end up being fined, rather than listen to so called experts?

Thanks so much for all this advice. Will need a bit of time to go through it!
We’re London based but will need to move the bus from Essex to Cardiff, and then down to London once it has been converted.

Thornton Bus Refurbishment work with First transporting deckers all over.
They are based in ashington.
Give them a call and see what transport cost would be.
I cant see a wrecker pulling it that distance for small change.
Might not work in Europe with their height limit at 4m but im sure between London and Cardiff 
A bit of discussion here about the DVSA’s double standards regarding trade plate offences. Basically the law changed a couple of years ago, whereas previously trade plates were supposed to cover the number plate, now the number plate must remain visible. However they expect the trade plates to be positioned next to the numberplate… which in many cases is impossible if it is to remain vertical.
Fined one way; fined the other. Made so easy for them with ANPR cameras, Kerching. Exactly what one expects from this crowd.

Traders use them on cars without mot all the time though ,Unless there is an accident anpr do not check mot .So you will only get problems if there is a problem with an actual stop and reg check by plod .
The question is, Take the risk or not? .It is up to your budget or your nerve ,I would just drive it on insurance and trade plates myself [emoji38]
But i remember the days of no mot no insurance ,baldy tyres and a slap on the wrist off plod [emoji38]
I used to do trade plate work taking cars to auctions or clearing yards for We Buy Any Car .
The only time we ever got pulled was for no MOT . This was always via ANPR
If you use the plates correctly and cover the original reg plates with them then ANPR will only read the trade plate . It also stops loads of grief from automatic toll and congestion charges .
