MOT Exempt - 'Substantially Modified'
Nurse Julie:
OK, so have you informed DVLA that it has been substantially modified?

No this is the bikes 3rd incarnation as a chop, so I have no idea what the previous owners have done. ???
Nurse Julie:
OK...so as the current owner its your responsibility, legally, to inform DVLA of the changes. When you do that, I'm sure they will say its been substantially modified and therefore not MOT exempt. Don't forget that if you don't inform DVLA, your insurance may possibly be invalid.
Edit.....it's no agro getting an MOT anyway, its got to be road worthy and safe at all times, so the need to have an annual MOT should be of no issue at all.

It is registered as a 1976 so no Q plate.

What is it registered as. As in make. If it's a one off chop with no certificate of conformity it should have had a single vehicle inspection and be on a Q plate surely.

I have started something here haven't I! Interesting and relevant though. I intend to get an MOT, it's just the online declaration that intrigued me.
So glad we have access to good knowledge and guidance from our forum members and friends!
