MOT Exemption what the score.
I know due to cold that sweeping the world that MOT have been extended indefinitely,
But with cars that are old that are MOT Exempt hows this happen.
Rang the Police help line and they werent even aware that a car could be MOT Exempt. As much help as something thats not much use. Just finished a car that was on the road and MOT'ed before and during the new law was introduced. It's Taxed and insured but on the DVLA website is states the MOT ran out but may be exempt. Is it legal to drive or will we get stopped by the boys in blue on my way to work. ( Some of us still have the pleasure to drive each day)
Any 100% advise

Hi, we need 100% more information (like the age of the vehicle) to give 100% advice.

Car was first registered in 1973 and Last full mot was April 2018 but always been taxed but due to the new law wasnt MOT'ed the year later. The car has had a few mods but they fall within the guidelines of economy and safety.
Its passed a brake test easily on a rolling brake tester.

Needs to be registered as a historic vehicle first. in doing so, it qualifies for tax and MOT exemption

I don't think that is the case for mot, a car is mot exempt when it is 40 years old to the day, tax exemption is the following april. The mot exemption just has to be declared when re-taxing.

To change the VED class to Historic, you need to take your V5 and a completed V112 form to a Post Office so they can send it to DVLA. The MOT has been extended for 6 months, not indefinitely.

The car is over 40 years old so MOT exempt. If you haven’t already registered it as an Historic vehicle then do so get get VED exempt. When you then tax the vehicle online (as I have just done) there is a box to tick for MOT exempt vehicles. Job done.

Right, worms & can at the ready. I’ve got a 1970 Escort obviously tax & mot exempt. Do ALL my stuff at the PO, always have, never online. Two reasons, like to support my local village PO & I run a mail order business so I’m there pretty much every day. Now he is a proper car guy as well & tends to follow it all pretty good. When I asked about the Historic Vehicle Status, he basically said, it’s plums there is no such thing, the dvla don’t even recognise it. There’s a bit of mention of it on the website, but he reckons there is no ‘class’ for it anywhere. He basically just taxed the car as normal (but no fee of course) & I’ve drove it ever since, no mot.

I presume you’re talking about Vehicle of Historic Interest and not Historic VED class. If so, then there is no “class” as such but he is supposed to ask for a V112 if you tax your Historic class (VED) vehicle at a Post Office, in the same way that the rest of us make a declaration online (the tick box) when we tax our VED exempt VHI.

Well most of this is what was led to believe, the cars old tax disc (still in the classic old left windscreen) 2013 show Tax free Historic Vehicle. I take it that VED is Vehicle Excise Duty .
With the advise/opinions above it does seem its good to drive, it's just what says on the DVLA website that the cars MOT has ran out. Also the Police are well board now days, but the roads are empty.

Are both boxes green on the DVLA tax checker page? www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-taxIf so, and you meet the VHI requirements and it’s roadworthy, you’re good to go.

The clearest way to have it MOT Exempt from what you're saying is as follows: -Go to the post office and get the V112 filled out and completed ; You can print this off from the DVLA's site -If you are worried about not having it made MOT exempt formally and don't want to go to the PO due to the desire/need to self-isolate, SORN the car now, then re-tax it ; When you come to retax it, you'll have an option of whether you want to declare MOT exemption. Declare it as exempt. One of the above should do the trick . When was your last MOT? If it was in April 2018 as you've stated, and you declared the exemption then, you should be fine now.

My Stag is 1976, as soon as it was old enough I registered it as an historic vehicle at the post office, 2 years ago when it became MOT exempt I just didn’t bother to get it motd. This April when it was due to be taxed I did it online and was able to tick a box stating MOT expect. So, I ran for a year or so without MOT and was fine.

Needs to be registered as a historic vehicle first. in doing so, it qualifies for tax and MOT exemption I was highlighting the fact that Tax and MOT exemption both have totally separate qualifying criteria. The only “registration” as historic is on the V5C and relates to VED. MOT exemption needs to meet “Vehicle of Historic Interest” criteria that you declare on a V112 or a tick box on the online tax page.

What does everyone else's state Looks green to me? This is one of my Historic class and MOT exempt cars that I haven’t MOTd: On the DVLA website, it’s green because it’s over 40 And on the DVSA website (which only tells you if it has an MOT) it’s red because it doesn’t have a current MOT
