Its a 40yr rolling exemption so it might be just on the cusp of being exempt, or it is..

Have to check with the DVLA.

Nice to meet an honest bloke, rare these days, and yes 5k does sound a lot for one needing work.

As far as I know, if it was built in 1983 it can be changed to be tax exempt after the start of the 2024 Tax year. He will have a bit of time to do the work before 6th April 2024.

I assume the current tax rate would be £325 per year for a Pre-2001 vehicle with an engine over 1.5l

From the UK Gov site:

If your vehicle was built before 1 January 1983, you can stop paying vehicle tax from 1 April 2023.

If you do not know when your vehicle was built, but it was registered before 8 January 1983, you do not need to pay vehicle tax from 1 April 2023.

beat me to it. that was my understanding as well. i did my '82 sereis 3 at the start of this year for the same reason. It is the january after it becomes 40 years old that you can apply for exemption.
