I get the point about working and not being available on a particular day but apart from the snob value or to one-up a neighbour what difference does the plate make to us?
Hasn’t this subject already been covered and Motability said they don’t care what the plate is, they just want it delivered to the customer asap 🤔
As for paying £55 to re register it, I’d rather pay for a private plate 😁
I certainly wouldn’t be paying any AP money until I’d inspected it and was due to drive away.
