MOT was never an indication of 'road legal' other than on the day and time the MOT was done. It has always been the owner / riders responsibility to make sure it is safe and road worthy at all times Dave. If it fails an MOT and an MOT is not needed, it doesn't make any odds, it's still failed for whatever reason and you will have to sort out the defects as it is proof it is not safe and road worthy at that time.

Some motorcycles of historical interest may be exempt from Statutory MOT testing. Such motorcycles must be over 40 years old and not substantially changed.
Owners of these motorcycles may still request a statutory test be conducted. In these circumstances, the test must be registered on the MOT testing service and carried out in the usual way, with the necessary documentation issued as appropriate.

I taxed the CB750 this morning (1972, registered in the historic vehicle class) and using the online service, there was a message displayed that said" "this vehicle may need an MOT". However, when I selected "continue" it said "checking MOT status" and the transaction immediately showed as successful.
Last year I did, as a precaution contact the insurance brokers to ask whether with the change in the law they would express any interest in whether a valid MOT existed in case of an accident and they said that they would follow legal guidelines and if an MOT was not required by law, they have no opinion either way as to whether a voluntary MOT should be undertaken.
