DLT control points? (when changing ownership)

[Blueeye]

Hi folks,

so I would like to buy a car whose owner has changed the original engine, Hyundai to Toyota. So I would like to know if engine serial number check is part of the routine control DLT performs when one applies to change of ownership. Thanks for your help

If the blue book has not been amended then the ride is illegal. Future yearly road tests will leave you with a problem too...

Yes they do check  both engine and chassis number  and if they don't match up with what the blue book and their records state then there will be a problem to change ownership...unless the vehicle comes with the necessary "paperwork"  about the engine swap ( have no idea what the necessary paperwork is )
