(3)

The Secretary of State may refuse to register a trailer, require the registered keeper to destroy, or surrender to the Secretary of State, any registration documents or withdraw a registration mark assigned to the trailer by the Secretary of State under regulation 15, as appropriate, if—

(a)

any of the trailer’s particulars specified in regulation 4(2)(d)(iii) to (vi) are determined as a result of an inspection under regulation 13(1) or (2) to differ from those recorded in the register or provided to the Secretary of State under these Regulations; or

(b)

a trailer is not made available for an inspection under regulation 13(2) at the time and place specified under regulation 13(3).

(5)

The fee payable to the Secretary of State in accordance with paragraph (4) must be repaid in full by the Secretary of State to the person who keeps the trailer or the registered keeper if—
