eeb43 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Posted September 26, 2018 just taxed a classic ford online and it now asks if its been modified in the last 30 years

Ray Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 I suspect, if you click yes, then you will need a valid mot, isn't that what all the paperwork said
OSF Contributor Mexican Gerbil Posted September 27, 2018 OSF Contributor Report Posted September 27, 2018 Yep probably needs an MOT if you say it’s been modified as the free Tax is linked in with MoT Free now. It’s for them to put on their data base incase you set off an ANPR camera

HotRodMatt Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 Wrong, it will require you to get an MOT as it will not be MOT exempt. No bad thing if you ask me.
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted September 27, 2018 Moderator Report Posted September 27, 2018 If you have only owned it for a couple of years how could you possibly know if its been modified in the last 30 years? It would also depend on their definition of modified?
Kenbex522 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 Well i taxed my 64 Corsair the other week, as it already had an mot it didn't ask me nothing. Quite disappointed really lol 7 hours ago, eeb43 said: no free tax and probably an inspection You dont half spout some tosh. 1

I doubt DVLA have enough cash spare to pay for thousands of inspections just through people taxing cars. They don't need to. They just wait for the people to send in applications for log books for cars that have sat in barns for years and then ask for photo evidence, or wait for people to transfer cherished number plates. I'd imagine that keeps them plenty busy.
eeb43 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Posted September 27, 2018 it is doing thats why they have a company doing all their inspections for them, a pop in the wisbech area earlier this year had its number and chassis number revoked on a plate transfer inspection and that as modified way over 30 years ago
colr6 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Posted September 27, 2018 I've sent log book off for my mg ( 1st style v5 ) not been taxed motd for 20 yrs plus previous owner dead ! It's been away nearly 3 weeks now. That's an ideal scenario to see what the dvla are doing. Will keep you posted. Being a 71 it's tax and mot exempt. 1
eeb43 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Posted September 27, 2018 it should come back without historic you will need to tax it at a post office to get it changed

It costs DVLA for each visit they do. So they only do them where they need to or suspect when something aint right. They're not going to do thousands of visits on hunch of someone ticking box on a website, because even SGS dont have that amount of staff.
deltamal Posted September 30, 2018 Report Posted September 30, 2018 I submitted my current MOT with the tax-exempt request at the post the office and received my new historic registration form with no questions, mine has been modified a little bit! 1

They've now come back to say I have to fill in form v55 and a 765 to keep its original reg ! Apparently it's not on their records due to been off the road for 20yrs even though I have an original v5 So this is going to be a £55 first reg fee plus to get the car authenticated by a MG ? person. We will see what happens after that!!

colr6 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 The reg Mark is WAJ 414J. According to the young lady, it wasn't on their system. Although I had a v5 for it !! Which I sent off with me as new owner, previous owner deceased. My v5 has not been returned, that's why I rang them. One of the things on the forms to authenticate the application is, have you the v5? Hope od it ain't all the same crap right through and a £55 first reg fee, I've another 10 to do!!!!
eeb43 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Report Posted October 25, 2018 its not showing but! if you had a v5 it must be there if you ring them ask them to check their skeleton records as it will be on there did you photocopy the v5?
