Thread: LOST/MISSING COMPLIANCE PLATE

G'day,

Replacement compliance plates can be obtained by the manufacturer for a fee of course....about $250 from Honda for an old bike in my experience.

Alternatively a 'letter of compliance' can be issued from the manufacturer stating that your vehicle complies with all relevant design rules at the time of manufacture.

At the end of the day if the vehicle remains continuously registered does it matter if you dont have a compliance plate - unless if/when you want to sell it..?

Matt

I would try to sort out the non compliance plate ASAP because if you have a serious accident the insurance may not cover you as they can say that its "not conplianced" as it has no plate, they will try anything so they dont have to pay out any $$$$$$$$

Thanks Matt,
My Defender has been unregistered since 2007, I have also just sent a request to LANDROVER Aust via email. I keep you posted with the result.
Cheers Ben.

No there are many ways you can show the identity of the vehicle. Insurers are legally not allowed to deny claims simply for breaches of regulations relating to the condition of the vehicle. BUT it will complicate your life.The more likely problem you will have is if the police inspect your vehicle they could fine you and possibly impound the vehicle.
