I find that I am disproportionately annoyed by plates with
strange fonts or illegally spaced . Does the MOT check
compliance, or do transgressors simply keep a spare pair?

I agree with you - totally disproportionate. But annoyed I become.

I suspect a spare pair. But the risk of being caught while driving must be very low as so many people seem to use them. I'd like to think that anyone stopped for any reason by police would get appropriately hit if they have such number plates. After all, it is a deliberate "stuff you" to the law. (Mind, I'd be a bit more forgiving for people who did not make a decision to transgress - such as stone-chipped during a journey.)
