DLT control points? (when changing ownership of car)

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

Answer summary

When changing ownership of a car in Thailand, the Department of Land Transport (DLT) typically checks the chassis number, which is located behind the front wheel, rather than the engine serial number. One user shared their experience of changing their car's engine 12 years ago without issues related to ownership transfer, while another confirmed that during a change of ownership for a different car, only the chassis number was checked.
