So my landy is 50 this year. Do I have to apply for MOT exemption or is it automatic?

So far as I can see you have to make a declaration when taxing it.

Okay, thanks!
Issue is tax date is after the mot date. So there’s a couple of months between them. MOT being August and tax being November.

You could SORN it and then reapply?

Thanks for the idea. I think I’ll email the MOT people for further info
My landy is 45 years old & the MOT is up 24th May 18. Tax is not due till April 19. Do i send or post form v112 to DVLC ?.

There's nothing wrong with you arranging and paying for an "independent safety check". But don't expect an official piece of paper for it, it will be just for your own peace of mind.
It's a bit like drivers over the age of 70 having to self-certify that they are still fit to drive. If you want to pay somebody such as a driving school to check that you're telling the truth, there's nothing at all wrong with such a responsible attitude.

You can still have your car MOT'd as normal. Classic Car weekly have just reported that exempt cars will be covered by the previous MOT certificate layout if presented for a voluntary inspection, so should avoid advisory items like seat belt webbing slightly frayed or surface corrosion on road springs, being treated as Minor Fails. The only problem is my local MOT garage knows nothing about it and can't stop complaining he has had to spend £2000 on new software. Minor fails are different from advisory items, since you are required to fix them as soon as possible rather than waiting till the next MOT due.

I take the series 1 for a mot. They can't fail it as there's nothing to them.
Reason we have this done is we go to France & you try explaining this no mot rule.
Also we get free ramp time to grease the props etc.

I have a very early 1973 series 3 that's tax exempt. Its been off the road for a while and I'm wanting to put her back on as a little project me and the Mrs can do together in our spare time.
I was thinking of converting it to a v8 as I have a rangie one on standby, but if I convert it it will no longer be mot exempt will it? Can anyone advise if this is the case or not? As I can easily, and actually I would be quicker, to put the petrol 2.25 back in if this is the case! Thanks!
