And you have to get a VIN, and the RMS will likely inspect the vehicle, as well as you having to convince the Certifier that you're not doing a dodgy. A certifier will know that a car which looks like it should have a VIN shouldn't need a VIN number application... for example a mass produced car. If I come across a vehicle without plates, I get the RMS to confirm the vehicle identity for me.

They're pretty hot on this stuff - moral of the story is don't do the wrong thing and you won't have to worry about the consequences.

To answer your question: basically no. They will determine it is never to be registered again and will keep track of a number of details that they won't let be registered again (for example your engine number will also be black listed).
