mot Exempt

[jas]

my cortina is a 67 reg year but it is showing up on dvla site mot exempt is this a new law is anyone else the same.

[colr6]

Maybe tax exempt . But far as I know MOT exemption is from 1st Jan 1960

[jas]

I think the dvla site might be messed up i put the reg off a 74 car in and said the same mot exempt

[katana]

There was talk of combining the tax AND MOT exemption on the 40 year rolling basis - seems it may have happened?

Interesting, where is it saying MOT exempt?

 

The DVLA's website is still saying MOT exemption is pre 1960

Wish they would move it to the rolling 40yr rule would save me a lot of aggro.

Thanks but I meant where is Jas getting the feedback that his car is MOT exempt?

 

As to the above, personally I am opposed to any cars being MOT Exempt and think some kind of road safety check should remain obligatory.

Off dvla where u can look to see if a car is taxed https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-taxand that where it says mot exempt

[colr6]

Mine doesn't and it's a 1960 (March) ....just my luck. If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have none at all

[jas]

I  put the reg off someones f reg cortina and that one said no mot they must off messed up with some old cars

[jas]

just so u all no im not going mad just yet the reg off the ford i put in was vyv177m

[colr6]

See what you mean, it's in black and white, well near enough. Don't think mr plod would see it like that though....lol

Yep, says MOT exempt alright. I don't get the same for my 74 or 72 car there. I reckon it's an admin cock up personally

[jas]

Its not a good thing anyway always better to get your car looked over just find it odd how some are saying exempt and others are not .

My 60s Anglias need MOT ....but none of my 70s escorts don't need it now ...yippee ...but I guess it's just as people say ...it's an admin over sight

[colr6]

a check is required for road use if you get a tug and plod find anything the matter with your car they will do you and not let you move it on the road the same as any mot liable car so why not just have it motd at least then you have an idea that it is ok

If they continue with the MOT status on historic cars possibly a reduction in fees

Our Pink Slips cost the equivalent of 20 pounds but I dont believe they are as thorough or comprehensive as your MOTs. Its just a check that all the indicators lights and brakes work and nothing so worn out with the suspension or tyres that its dangerous. Its over in less than 10 minutes max.
