It does not apply to cars already registered as historic and already exempt from MOT all pre 1960.
All registered Historic cars after 1960 until 1977 which an need an MOT need to complete V112 form to be exempt from the MOT. (they are exempt from tax but not MOT)
AS the 40 years is a rollover, all cars registered in 1978 and next year all the car registered in 1979 on so on (depending on the month they are registered) will need to complete the forms for Tax and MOT exemptions and be registered as historic vehicles. This will also apply to all cars discovered or restored newly which does not have any paperwork.
According to this government document: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...idance.pdf
the form V112 will need to be filled out for all historic vehicles to claim MOT exemption. This is text from the document:
Vehicle keepers are required to ensure that their vehicles are taxed when used on a
public road. From 20 May 2018, at the point of taxing a vehicle, the vehicle keeper
can declare their vehicle exempt from MOT if it was constructed more than 40 years
ago. When declaring an exemption, you will be required to confirm that it has not been
substantially changed (as defined in this guidance). This process will be applied to
pre-1960 registered vehicles, as well as newer vehicles in the historic vehicle tax
class.
If the vehicle does not have an MOT and you wish to continue using it on the public
roads, you will have either to undergo an MOT or, if you wish exemption from the
MOT, to declare that the vehicle is a VHI.
