How long can you leave a vehicle un registered?

[faroogoo]

Interested to know if theres any time limit to how long you can leave a vehicle (Car/Bike etc) unregistered before it needs/has too go through regency for a roadworthy?

If that rule even applies to S.A?

Thanks

I know sometime back I read it was 5 years in SA, but I can't find anything now to support this.

Maybe just give the Department a call.

Aslong as you want bro, after 3 months they ask for your plates back (you dont have to hand them in) and when your ready to put rego back on it just take your papers to motor reg (services SA) and pay up. If your unlucky some may have taken your plate and you'll be made to pay for a new 1. I've only heard 1 story of that happering
