If you’re considering upgrading to 4D number plates, you might be wondering whether they will pass an MOT.
Fortunately, 4D plates are fully road legal. When produced correctly and in compliance with relevant legislation, they will pass an MOT test without any issues. In this article, we will explore the requirements that determine the legality of 4D plates.
4D plates are a premium number plate style that features raised digits, giving a three-dimensional appearance to a vehicle’s registration. The characters on 4D number plates are made from impact-modified acrylic, which is professionally laser cut for an exceptionally accurate finish. The noticeable character depth, typically 3mm or 5mm, creates a solid and bold plate style.
