Recent MOT rules

just found out that any motorcycle over 40 years old does not need an MOT and i think road tax either. no wonder i have seen a load of old small classic bikes running about.

'Old' bike needs to be taxed ( as Historic Vehicle )
BUT the rate of tax is Zero

Re: Recent MOT rules

yes same for cars. However if you let the insurance lapse while its off the road and you havent put it on a SORN you can get punished....

Yep the Cub has been tax free for a few years now - costs nothing to keep on the road, both bikes insured for £120, unfortunately Suzy's tax seems to go up year on year

Re: Recent MOT rules

I've heard if you choose not to MOT them and you have a crash, insurance can be a pain re. proving it was road legal/safe.
For the sake of £30 on an MOT per year, the guys I know with classics just get them tested.

Oh yeah, little older bit more broken; but still here. got a rebuild on the go as well as three bike to maintain, but obviously not much for others just now.
