Registration Retention
I have a 1987 2.0 Celica GT that is an MOT failure. I originally planned to use the engine (3SGE) in my car once I had got it through SVA. However, as
finishing the car is going to be an achievement in itself, I’ve decided to knock that idea on the head. I would like to retain the registration
number, but DVLA inform me that the car has to be taxed and MOT’d before this can happen. I presume that this is to discourage people from reg
retention, in order for the DVLA to sell on reg numbers that are worth money. Does anyone know if there is any way to retain a registration prior to
scrapping a car without having to spend money on an MOT, Tax & insurance?
TIA, Ian.

from DVLA website
"What are the requirements for participating vehicles?
Participating vehicles must be currently licensed, subject to annual testing and available for inspection. However, applications involving unlicensed
donor vehicles will still be considered if:
the licence for the donor vehicle expired no more than six months prior to the date of the application; or if
the donor vehicle is not old enough to be tested , i.e. less than 3 years old for cars, motorcycles, etc or less than 1 year old in the case of HGVs.
In both the above circumstances, all other requirements of the number transfer facility must be met in order for applications to be considered."

SORN makes no difference, and it's more than six months since the tax expired. Just hope it MOT's for less than the reg is worth!
