  1. I think MOT exemption was a daft idea

    Depends if your mechanically minded, and know what your doing.

  3. Did mine a couple of weeks ago, I guess it was sent off with the log book as this was also registering as historic vehicle for tax status. But essentially, take form to post office

    I did mine online today, there is a tick the box declaration on the finish page, no need to go to the post office or use a form.

  8. I remember back awhile there was a post about an over zealous police officer
    Who stopped a van
    And said get it all fixed or I will do you for everything that I can .
    Give it a few years and there will a few running around in an unroadworthy state
    And one sunny summer day the
    Police will have a campaign at the side of the A30 as you chug down to Cornwall
    To catch the ones held together with duck tape and zip ties and impound
    Your van
    Another
    DVLA master plan
    On the upside there might be lots of usable spares around :)

  13. Just dropped mine to have mot done tomorrow
     
  14. The DVLA website says that if your vehicle is registered as Historic Tax Exempt, you do not need to separately declare it as MOT exempt. I assume the tax exemption automatically triggers the MOT exemption?
     
  15. i had to tick a tax exempt box when i was taxing the camper online. when it came to the bug, there was no box. called dvla and they told me to take in the form when the tax is due (september).

    I suspect the system wasn't quite ready for the change and that's why folk were/are getting different responses.

    At the same time, it said your vehicle is over 40yrs old is it eligable for mot exemption, then there is an option which takes you to a list of exemptions, you dont have to go to that, there is a box to click that says my vehicle is eligable to be exempt then you click done and you are your taxed as well.
     
  18. When I had a rear tyre blow out on the way to Techenders last year, the AA turned up without an issue to my MOT exempt and without MOT camper.
     
  19. It must have changed since I renewed my tax
