Mod plate and rego

[jonfromhamilton]

Does anyone know if you have a mod plated car and the rego lapses for a long time does the engineering need to be done again?
Thinking of buying one that has been off the road for a few years

Engineering approval lapses the moment the car is unregistered.

Thanks Steve I thought that might be a thing.
I'll have to find that in writing somewhere because it has a big impact on the price of the car if someone is selling it
