Top Vehicle MOT related questions
Vehicles that reach the age of 40 years or older are exempted from the MOT. This means that classic cars are exempted from taxes and the MOT. But only for as long as they have not been heavily customised or modified in the past 30 years. Classic, era-defining models like the Ford Capri Mk 1 and 2, Ford Escort, Ford Granada, Vauxhall Viva, MGB and Triumph Stag need not be tested for roadworthiness.Â
Once your car has become over three years old, it will henceforth require an MOT test to comply with motoring laws in the UK. In essence, the MOT is a visual inspection of your car that determines whether or not it meets the minimum requirements for safety as set by the DVSA. You must remember that driving without valid and current MOT certification is contrary to law, and you can be fined 2,500 quid and 3 points on your licence.
