karlo 0 Posted January 17, 2012 In Spain the (MOT) inspector compares the specifications of the bike closely with those recorded electronically at the time of first registration. Any new mods means that you have to get a new tech inspection (Engineers Report) done before the MOT equivalent. Typically 200 euros a time! Every mod has to be E-marked or otherwise type-approved. The engineer's report is required to update the registered details of that particular bike and no other. The engineer doesn't actually comment on the roadworthiness of the bike, that's done by the MOT tester in the usual way. All the details from the type approval are on computer and any deviations from that are also recorded against the VIN of the vehicle/bike. The tester has a hand-held bit of IT which enables him to call up the details of the machine in front of him. Show up for a 2-yearly MOT with obvious differences to the vehicle and the tester can insist on another technical inspection and report to update the system before he will proceed with the roadworthiness test.MMM is what the EU have in mind over here with this anti tampering bollox and this 2 year MOT suggestion that is being banded about, would make everything fit into place!

Oldfart 0 Posted January 17, 2012 When I moved to Tenerife a few years ago I took my GSX1400 with me. To register it there it has to go through matriculation. The engineer came and inspected it and as has been said he recorded everything non standard. hugger, heated grips, flyscreen and checked the exhaust markings. Had originally fitted Beowulfs but they are not 'E' marked so I had to put the originals back. He even measured the length and wheelbase. Cost me about 1200 Euros. Came back to the UK and within 30 mins at the local traffic office I had registered it back on my original UK plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
