Life isn't easy if your last name is 'Null' as it still breaks database entries the world over

Use parameters, that way data and queries are separate.
-
Yes but it's a dangerous process. You should use paramatrized queries instead.
-
And it's probably not seen as urgent enough an issue to need replacing the whole system for.

It got worse than this, the ticketing company really wanted to get the money from him so when he got hold of a copy of the records and pointed out that one ticket was for a completely different car they modified the records on their end to change the make of car so it would match his. iirc he only got out of it because he had paper copies.

It's baffling to me. Maybe I'm just used to using "modern" frameworks, but the only way this could be an issue is if if you literally check if the string value equals "null" and then replace it with a null value.
lastName = lastName.ToUpper() == "NULL" ? null : lastName;
Either that or the database has some bug where it's converting a string value of "null" into a
null

Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.
I think that word modern is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
A lot of systems simply aren't modern. There's always that mentality of "well, it's been working for the last 12 years, let's not mess with it now", despite all the valid objections like "but it's running on Windows2000” or "it's a data beach waiting to happen"...
