Tony, you've quoted part of an exception, without noting it's context, here it is again, so it flows better...
NT's will normally be provided with the vehicle details as part of the Vehicle Specific Information supplied by the MOT database. This will
usually Include the vehicle's 'first used' date. Where this information Is available, the NT should only use Reasons for Rejections
applicable to the vehicle's age.
However, In cases where this Information Is not available or incorrect, the NT should determine the vehicle's 'first used' date as
follows; Vehicles having a Q plate registration when presented for MOT are to
be treated as being first used on 1 January 1971
Q plates should only be treated as pre '71, only if the correct info is not on the V5! thats perfectly clear imo

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

This came up with VOSA at a recent MOT testers refresher course & they stated quite clearly that ANY vehicle with a Q plate should be treated as
pre '71, it was actually on the test paper - you can't get nearer the horses mouth than that!
MOT manual is very clear in this respect as well, so why does it contradict VOSA's advice? Why is emissions data present on (most) Q plated
cars that have been through IVA if it's not used?
