I understand the tax as I have already done the 400/4 last year.
It was the MOT thing I was reading where it stated that you did not have to apply for the MOT exemption it automatically qualified after the 40th year .

I saw that too Paul. That makes sense now as before, the way the dates were set differently by two different gov depts, a vehicle could become MOT exempt on its 40th birthday but not Historic until many months later.

By the way re-taxed the 400/4 on the website last night £0 ;D ;D ;D The MOT does not run out untill the end of May 19

at which point you have to complete a v112 'declaration of exemption from mot' as, in theory, you have to produce it if asked (although i have no idea who is going to ask as you don't have to pay road tax and i doubt if the police will ask!)

my date of first reg is 13/09/1978 but the tax in only 'free' after 01/04/2019 as julie has already points out (i checked this with dvla).
if in any doubt just give them as call give them the reg no and they will check what date applies.

You don't even have to fill in a V112 now as it is automatically knows that if the bike is old enough to be eligible to change the taxation class to historic, its old enough to be MOT exempt. Up until recently a V112 was needed to be completed but no any more.
