As of the 14th July 2018, HGV trailers are no longer to be issued with a physical MOT plate.
Similar to the current car tax disc system, the new MOT records for HGV trailers are kept online.
The only physical confirmation generated is a certificate, viewable as a sample MOT pass certificate, which will, as a bare minimum, be issued to the collecting driver.
MOT status can now be checked online via the GOV.UK MOT history service using the ministry "C" number as the reference.
If MOTs are carried out by Don-Bur's in-house ATF station, scanned copies of the new MOT certificate can be emailed automatically to nominated individuals on request.
Edit: Any MOT discs lost or that become illegible in advance of the due MOT date do not need replacing immediately; however, the operator will need to replace it at some point to present at the next MOT.
