I have the following damage to my front numberplate.
Does anyone know if this is an MOT fail?
Thank you

Regardless of MOT, why would you keep a cracked number plate on your car? :?

Buy a new one.
 
It depends how strict your MOT test station is. I would hope you'd just get an advisory note or a quiet word from the tester.

Strictly I would say it should be a fail as the distortion is probably enough to make the number unrecognisable by ANPR.

If that is true, I am going to take a hammer and chisel to my rear plate..!

Average speed cameras read the fronts. Might want to do that instead :wink:

Except when they read the rears, like all the ones on the A40 into London. Think bikes...
 
I cam out of the house this morning and someone has reversed into it and I have MOT booked for Monday
 
You'll be fine. Providing it's legal in all other regards, a small crack like that isn't a fail. If you're worried, go into Halfords with the V5 & they'll make you one while you wait.
 
I have 4 sets of plates for mine :oops:

Normal
MOT
Holiday
BMW

:what:

In order of list:

Normal (on car but not legal)
Holiday (When in St Tropez, not legal and increased chance of getting my collar felt)
MOT (legal)
BMW (from when I had my 850i)

Although for my last 3 MOTs the tester has passed the illegal one currently on the car.
