Has anyone applied for the Pre 1960 Mot Exemption ?

[Savvi]

Just wondered if anyone has applied for this yet ?

 

I think it starts on the 18th of this month, seems you fill out a form to take with you when you tax it ?

 

I have a 1957 Minor which im thinking of doing, just not sure if i have the right form as it seems it's not been updated to include this catogary yet ?

More to the point, who in their right mind wants to drive a car on the road that hasn't been properly checked over for safety at least once a year?

Would surprise me if any insurance company would want to touch the car on this scheme

I dont know if it can still be Mot'd or not ?

 

Hence looking into it and asking .......... im wondering if they are going to be taken off the data base which will mean the garage wont be able to do an actual mot on them via the computer ?

 

I heard that this was one of the reasons it's coming in because of linking it up with Dvla and garages ........... i hear what your saying but i think most people who own a car of that age knows what to look for and keep them well maintained ............. i know that i had to show the young lad that does my Mot's how to test and what to look out for on my Mk1 escort when i 1st went there, which is sad and maybe wrong in a way but none of the help menu's covered a car of that age, even i'd be stuck on stuff older then i've worked on in the past.

Bit long winded but this comes from Claire Rush, Corporate Affairs Directorate, DVLA

 

Pre-1960 Vehicles

I am writing to notify you of a change in legislation that may impact a number of your members. From 18 November 2012, vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1960 will become exempt from the requirements to have a mandatory MoT test. I can confirm that these vehicles will still be required to be in a roadworthy condition when used on a public road. Keepers of pre-1960 vehicles will still be able to take a voluntary MoT test at all approved testing stations if they wish to do so.

This means that on or after 18 November 2012, keepers of vehicles who need to tax their pre-1960 vehicle(s) will not need to produce a valid MOT pass certificate when applying for a tax disc. Any application to tax via the Post Office or Local Office will require a completed V112 (Declaration of exemption from MoT testing) where the customer declares that their vehicle is exempt. In addition, the DVLA electronic vehicle licensing system will enable customers with pre-1960 vehicles to tax without a MoT from 18 November 2012.

This exemption will also apply to vehicles where a date of manufacture is not on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) system, but the date of registration is recorded as being on or before 7 January 1960. We also apply this policy to the qualification criteria for the pre-1973 Vehicle Excise Duty exemption.

I can confirm that the Agency will continue to allow pre-1960 vehicles to either transfer or retain their registration mark using the current cherished transfer scheme provided a voluntary MoT has been passed. This is to ensure that vehicles are still in existence and prevent potential fraudulent claims for attractive marks.

Where keepers believe their current vehicle should be exempt due to the law change but their Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) does not reflect this they will need to write to the DVLA to request a change. The address to write to is DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA.

In order to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the vehicle records held at the DVLA, it is important that evidence provided to amend or add information already held on our system is accurate and truly reflects the vehicle for which it is issued. Therefore it has been decided that for these specific cases, requests will only be considered where it has been accompanied with either an extract from the manufacturer/factory record or an extract from the appropriate ‘Glass’s Check Book’. Both these documents will have a direct link to the chassis number that should already have been accepted and recorded on the vehicle record as part of the initial registration process.

I can confirm that for these specific cases, DVLA will not accept general dating certificates as evidence to amend or update the date of manufacture. Such certificates will however, continue to be accepted for other purposes such as V765 claims and requests for age related numbers for recently restored or recently imported vehicles.

I trust this explains the situation.
