I doubt you will have a problem provided you are booked in at an MOT station. NI plates, are they even on the ANPR system?

However, I don't know about getting it to the boat on the other side.

No, he is allowed to take it to an MOT station.

Bear in mind that any bike registered in N.I is under the DVNLI system, and won't appear on the DVLA system, so you can't MOT or TAX it in the DVLA catchment area UNTIL you register the bike with the DVLA.

A mate of mine recently bought a car in Belfast, and brought it back over to Glasgow. He went to the DVLA office in Glasgow to try and tax it, and was told it was not possible until he had dealt with the re-registration hassle from the DVNLI system to the DVLA system, but you can apply to keep the north irish number plate. They are dateless, so hide the age of any vehicle perfectly...

You could MOT and tax the bike whilst its still under the north irish system. Then just bring the bike over and transfer the paperwork..

Any vehicle registered in NI doesn't even appear on the DVLA ANPR camera database. Do an online DVLA tax query on any north irish truck and you'll see it doesn't exist, despite having a UK tax disc!!!!! So you're safe from the average speed cameras too.... another reason to keep the bike registered in NI!!!!!!

what if it fails badly? just a thought.

you can ride to a MOT centre to get a MOT done as long as it is prebooked, the bike is insured and you go directly to the test centre.

IMO considering the distance you are travelling to buy the bike i would make sure it had a current MOT.

What if the bike is £1K below market value because it doesn't have an MOT

Insurance; would they pay out if the bike got bent whilst riding it to the MOT station? I doubt it.

Your likely to get away with it from a 'will I get caught' sense, but if you look at the worst case only you can decide if its worth the risk.

the law about u can ride to a mot station is that it has to be the nearest one to your home address .

so if your no were near your hoome and you get pulled saying im on my way to the mot station the copper will just laugh at you
