MOT Exemption

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Dicky, Sep 20, 2019.

  1. Tax renewal time for the first time since the new arrangements came in. Havent had an MOT for some months now. Last time I looked you had to tax at the post office and complete a form V112 to declare MOT exemption.

    Have I got that right? Anyone done this (I would guess so)?

    Many thanks.
     
  2. i thought you could self declare mot exempt online, when re taxing?

    When you do the tax on line there’s a box to tick if you want to declare MOT exemption
     
  4. I don't know! anyone else know?
     
  5. Well I never. Will give it a go! Thanks
     
  6. Just googled it and it says you can do it online, unless:

    If this is the first time applying for the historic vehicle class, you cannot claim exemption online. This must be done at your local Post Office.
     
  7. Ta - im already historic so no issues there!!

  8. Yes. Mine was already Historic class. Went to tax online, no MOT needed, job done. Easy peasy :)

    There's a box to tick....but when you've done all that, you worry that you might not have clicked on it, so you check Mot site, which says MoT expired.
    Then you worry for a bit longer, then forget about it.. job done !

  10. Having recently done this I had to get a birth certificate from VW , now free and done online takes approx 3 days
    Take registration document and proof of age if vehicle first registered after 1978 to main post office for them to send off with correct form to change taxation class
    You can post it yourself, might be easier as most post offices haven’t got a scooby
    Hey presto road fund license exempt !!
    Hopefully if their admin works
     
  11. Do you have a link to applying for the free birth certificate online please?
     
  12. All sorted. box ticked on line. job done.
    Thanks all.

    If you want an all singing all dancing build sheet I got one for my bay from Germany direct, cost £80 and took 3 monthd
