The smart money SORN’d their substantially changed vehicles in April and re-taxed them on the 1st May suspecting that they then might get 1 year’s grace to let the dust settle. This turned out to be the case.
DVLA is aware of this administrative anomaly but is letting it stand. An MOT for a 40+ year old, substantially changed vehicle will not be required until its next license is due.
In the event of a claim, insurers’ first question will be, ‘has the vehicle a current MOT’?
Even if it doesn’t need one, get one – it’ll be your first line of defence.
