HGV Mot - '61 404 |

Hey, |
|
Ingrid the sports-mog (has a vacuum advance dizzy :) ) hasn't |
|
seen much use recently - but is about to. |
|
When we got her, she was a Q plate recovery truck, we registered |
|
her properly as a '61 HGV and have an age related plate. We've |
|
always MOT'd her (usually successfully :) ) but have struggled |
|
this year, because a lot of places won't test petrols (never |
|
been a problem before) |
|
Anyhow, it got me to looking at whether we *needed* an MOT. When |
|
the law changed a few years ago I didn't think it affected us, |
|
but I think they've changed the wording on the site to suggest |
|
we don't need one |
|
" 4. Large vehicle information |
|
Some large vehicles are exempt from testing. |
|
Large goods vehicles (defined as vehicles more than 3.5 tonnes) |
|
or buses and public service vehicles (defined with 8 or more |
|
passenger seats) which are used commercially require a valid |
|
test certificate if: |
|
the vehicle has been substantially changed in the last 30 |
|
years |
|
it is a large goods vehicle and is used when laden or towing |
|
a laden trailer" * |
|
We're non commercial, and the only major change was made more |
|
than 30 years ago. Anyone in the same position, or with a more |
|
definitive view? |

Oh, and online taxing system asked me to confirm it was exempt, |
|
without prompting - which reassured me in my thinking. |

Can you not re-register it as a historic vehicle? |
