ID should stay with the chassis so if you want a good usable chassis it should come with ID.
If a chassis is beyond realistic repair then the ID should be scrapped with it unless replacing the chassis with new like for like in which case the old chassis should be destroyed.
In theory it's illegal to put a vehicle on the road on a 2nd hand chassis that didn't come with ID.
