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!)

                  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 agree with Paul on this- the MOT man said its probably the last MOT ill ned, but im not so sure..My bike is registered September '78

I went to PO, they were unsure, so wrote 'HISTORIC' tore of the bit, got me to sign the V5 and then couldnt input the request to change!! They told me to tax it for 6 months and come bacl, which will be in the 41st year and after April 1st. Fortunately its a rural PO and they are friendly- lord help anyone in a City where there are queues...(I was the only one in the Post-Office at the time)

We will see!

What if your bike is Tax & Mot exempt but as we all being good citizens go to get an MOT for our piece of mind and it fails , is it still road legal as i dont need an MOT anyway or is is not road legal as its not road worthy , this is what keeps me awake at night Julie  ;D ;D

Nurse Julie:
No more MOT's needed now Pat, unless you decide out of personal choice to have one done, as I do. Yes, these rural PO's are a little behind the times with their knowledge but, they do their best i suppose.
You will get a refund back for the Tax for the unused months after April 1st Pat.
