That is correct for cars,
But a scooter is class1 or 2:
"A Vehicle Identification Number is required on all machines first used on or after 1 August 1999, except those which are amateur built."
Also 'secured' to the vehicle can be a sticker, like the french cars have.
So a self tapping screw is also secure.

I was always told by my mot,er that any vehicle from the 1950s? had to have a vin plate, its something i never looked up just took his word for it , when i built a few cutdown vespas in the 80s/90s i use to go to a trophy shop and got a plaque engraved with number on.

Things like spare wheels needing tread, batteries needing to be secured (although they do now), and anything they didn't like they failed and it became MOT folklore.
With the computor, it can only fail if you can find a fail button to match (still many a button is pressed incorrectly though).
With the amount of updates and backtracking from DVSA (VOSA as was) the MOT is pretty hard to keep up with nowadays.

That the problem with MOT testers pre computerisation, they tested with their own take on the MOT system, and wrote down/advised on what they thought best/correct.I was always told by my mot,er that any vehicle from the 1950s? had to have a vin plate, its something i never looked up just took his word for it , when i built a few cutdown vespas in the 80s/90s i use to go to a trophy shop and got a plaque engraved with number on.
