Just logged on to my local bike mot place to get their number to organise an mot next week, and there's in their spiel how easy it is, just "grab your V5 and come on down".

Why on earth do I need to produce my V5, especially as I realise I've never received one since registering the SV with the DVLA at Xmas.

Is there some new legal requirement about producing a V5 for Mot? I can understand road tax, its a hurdle to cross to ensure bikes are mot'ed and insured, but what has the MOT got to do with "Ownership"?

I don't remember ever needing a v5 at MOT before?
