The current owner would definatly be prosecuted and the vehicle impounded.
It is up to the current owner to make sure the vehicle is 100% legal in all
areas. There is no movement in the law. The owner is responsible.
I wonder if a new owner could possibly check a vehicle economically, surely
it would cost hundreds if not thousands.
Apart from a HPI and safety check I would ride my luck with a second hand
