First MOT - SV650.org

23-02-09, 10:49 AM

Morning all,

I got my SV650 about 7 months ago off a guy that had riden it about 3 times. it had 58 miles on it when i got it, the bike was first regiestered in 2005 and had been declared SORN.

I taxed the bike at the end of July last year, as it was less than 3 years old it didn't require an MOT, the bike has been put away for the winter but with the weather gettin a bit better i want to get out and ride it.

The question is do i need to put an MOT on it now as its older than 3 years or do i just need to have one before i can tax the bike again in august?

Thanks,

Colin.
