First MOT after registration
Just been asked a question by another forum member (monkeyarms) about when the first MOT would be due.
I have told him it is 3 years after registration, but he is, understandably, sceptical. Can you guys re-assure him, please?

Build start: October 6th 2008.
IVA passed Jan 28th 2011.
First drive Feb 10th 2011.
First show: Stoneleigh 1st/2nd May 2011.
'Used up' first engine may 3rd 2011!
Back on the road with 2nd engine may 24th
First PASA mad drive 26/7/11
Sold to Mike in Methyr Tydvil 19/03/14

If managed correctly by the DVLA it should be 3 years

3 years from the date of new registration:
"The legislation supporting this is Section 47( 2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988"
Quoted from my email i received from the DVLA when I registered my Locost last year.

Just to be different, it appears mine needs one after first year. Passed iva last year on age related plate. Went to get tax and they say I need mot.
Obviously tried elsewhere and online and still require mot.
Went to Preston Dvla and they said it requires a mot. Iva as a mot expires after first year. Tried to explain the 3 years but they weren't
budging.
So it looks like I need mot.

On my first renewal I had no probs. On the second I tried to renew on line but couldn't because it stated I needed an MOT.
Tried the Post Office but again, an MOT needed. Went up to the local DVLA and taxed it with no problems. They said that the computers some times throw
up these issues.

If anyone wants a copy of the email I got then U2 me. It does state for a 'Q' plate though, but the chap did say it makes no difference as
long as it's a new registration.
Of course the problem now is that the local offices are closing so it's going to be even harder!!

For those people who are getting 3 years, what date of registration do you have?
Mine is showing as original date of donor car. Ie 1992 for j plate.
If this is the cause for my 1 year mot requirement, can it be changed? Says date of iva on front

Hume mine was on j plate as donner no mot was needed for first 3years... Just taxed online as normal.. Sounds like Dvla stuffed up details on the
computer.... They should be able to fix it...

Go to your local DVLA office. If they wont tax it fill out form V112 declaring you don't need an MOT. Present this instead of an MOT certificate
and they'll tax it. If all else fails contact to Swansea. Mine was 3 years on an age related plate but I usually had to make a fuss.

Went to local tax office and they said I needed mot. If I fill out the form, do you have to give a reason? What reason? What would happen in worst
case scenario and I needed use of my insurance. Could they say it is void cos I have no mot or can police pull you?

There is a list of reasons on the form. One of those is "vehicle less than three years old". Unfortunately some DVLA staff don't
deal with kit cars very often, so sometimes you have to stick to your guns until you get your way. There shouldn't be any problem legally or
with your insurance. See here:

I can not see much of a problem ,even if it needs an not from the first year at least its getting checked over by another set of eyes which can not be
a bad thing.

Aged related and my V5C says
Note 4B Date of first registration 12/08/1980
Note 4[B.1] Date of first registration in the UK 16/06/2006
I had 3 years before MOT.

It appears the form has changed. There is no part on form to say car less than 3 years old.
Whitsella I agree there is no harm in getting it mot'd. Just thought the money for mot could be put to better use. Ie fuel for car
