No MOT required

ogri211:
 As of May this year Historic vehicles wont require a valid MOT, but beware.The only thing about the MOT is if you have an accident the insurance will use it as an excuse to hold back from paying out, I have heard several stories from boys with pre 1960's vehicles and the first thing the insurance asks is do you have a valid MOT even though it is not required by law, I now have 3 bikes that don't require an MOT shortly and due to the amount of money tied up in them I think it would be prudent to get them MOT ed as then there are no arguments about  them being roadworthy.  As you know insurance companies will do anything to avoid paying out, how many old rusty land rovers and ex farm vehicles that haven't been on the road for 15 years do you think are going to get pulled out and taxed, the insurance companies will not differentiate between these and a motor cycle that has been pampered. There is also the bike that has had a lot of money spent on it and looks good but has been put together by someone whose Engineering skills are maybe not as good as they think, think of the bikes you have bought that look good and when you look close they are death traps. 

UK Pete:
Very good points you make

Bryanj:
A major oil leak has been a failure for years, basically if the tester gets dripped on iy ought to fail

Green1:
I think they need to fail more leaky cars and vans.
I'm fed up with dodging oil slicks on the road and even when walking on the paths.

Too true. A lot of it is from lorries and knackered old vans. 😣
