DVLA credit where it is due.
Taxed the model 31 this morning. The MOT exemption process worked effortlessly. The whole process took about 2 minutes.

Re: DVLA credit where it is due.
I have two bikes, a '68 and a '71 that are both eligible for MOT exemption now. Both have current MOT that will expire later in the year. What was the 'process' that you had to go through, please?Winkie wrote:Taxed the model 31 this morning. The MOT exemption process worked effortlessly. The whole process took about 2 minutes.

Yes the process is painless. The DVLA site does it all for you as long as your bike taxation class if Historic Vehicle. You simply tick the box to confirm that the bike is substantially unchanged.

Forgot to say that the DVLA site told me without being asked that as an Historic Vehicle over 40 years old the bike would not need an MOT. Very efficient.

When the first M o T exempt came into being, I did the same at my nearest main PO. It seemed seconds and I was passed my papers back. I said is there a problem, reply was no, all done.

Re: DVLA credit where it is due.
Just retaxed my 1960 G12. The current tax expires in August but the MOT has expired. I went to the website and applied to tax the bike using the reg no and V5 ref. It said that the bike was already taxed until August and would I like to proceed with a warning that I may be charged twice for tax. Well I do not mind paying £0 twice so I went ahead. A declaration form came up asking to tick the box if the bike was more than 40 years from construction and not substantially modified.Mick D wrote:Hi

A new 12 months taxed was then issued starting 1st May.
Surpisingly simple for DVLA.

Re: DVLA credit where it is due.
That sounds easy enough...
My '71 bike is taxed until 31st March 2019 but the current MOT expires 22nd June 2018. Do you think it would be OK to just ignore the MOT until the bikes current tax expires or should I re-tax it when the the MOT expires and declare it MOT exempt?
