just had a reminder for my RD,its historice and need me to make a payment of £0.00 before june.
BUT,it still claims it will need an MOT,maybe I will wait till after 20th May before I pay my £0.00
and see if it becomes MOT exempt !!!

I like an optimist - do you think our beloved Gov is that organised

Just renewed my insurance though Carol Nash and that included breakdown assistance. The first line of Restrictions of cover states the vehicle must be UK registered with a current MOT. One might expect there to be perhaps in brackets if applicable but there isn't.
So on the face of it it seems that no MOT no breakdown assistance. Before I get on the phone for clarification I wonder if anyone else has noticed this.

I have rung the DVLA this morning to enquire about the new MOT's for vehicles over 40 years old.
They have confirmed that it runs live from 20th May, so from that date provided you have insurance you will be able to apply for tax and you will not need to have a current MOT.
If, like me, you have some already insured and taxed but the MOT's have elapsed you need to do nothing but simply use them from that date.
They were not able to advise what the specific procedure is/will be if you are taxing the vehicle on or after the 20th May so I guess we will all find out on that day but if you already have current insurance and tax but no MOT from the 20th May you will not need it.
Have also checked with my Insurance Company, RH, and they have confirmed that a vehicle will need to be roadworthy but will no longer require a MOT certificate for insurance or any breakdown cover.
