pincher Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Hello you knowledgable bunch. Question. When did M O T's first become a legal requirement for a car. Ian. Quote
stu999 Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 When it is over three years old... I'll get my coat... Quote
S8ight Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Or should i ask "which year" ? or just look up Quote
jos Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Thread hijack...... After passing the SVA and the car is on the road, assuming non-new parts have been used, will the vehicle need an MOT straight away or will it only need one after 3 years??? Quote
Mark B Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 If it's on a new plate then it won't need one for 3 years, but if it's on a Q then as far as I know it needs one straight away, someone correct me if I'm wrong......... Quote
jos Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 GREAT that makes me even more determined to get an age related plate. Quote
dac3774 Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Might be wrong here........ If its an age related plate it will still need an MOT (unless its 52 to 05). Only if its a new reg 05 till end of Aug, 55 01 Sept onward will it be 3 years for a MOT. Stand back and await correction! Quote
Mark B Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Yes that's correct, New plates = new car so 3 years for mot Age related plate eg using sierra donor car = not new so requires an mot straight away. Quote
Tigger Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Mine was registered April 2004 on a Q and it didn't need an MOT when I re-Taxed it!! Tigger Quote
Mark B Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 That's the only bit I was unsure of, "Q" plates. Was it a slip up by the post office or is it 3 years for a "Q"? Quote
Westfieldman Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 For £20.00 per year is it worth not having one Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm on a Q and didn't need one straight away; sort of assumed I'll need one at the end of the first year, but don't know for sure. GREAT that makes me even more determined to get an age related plate. the advantage of a Q though, is that when you do come to need an MOT, you'll have a much easier time. Quote
