My car has been on the road for a year now and needs an MOT. I don't know if I was suppose to get an MOT after SVA - but I didn't, is there any MOT issues that I need to be aware of? Any information will be great. Thanks.

Why do you think it needs an MOT, has it come up on your tax renewal? I think the general rule is that MOT is not required until 3 years after date of first registration.
There have been a number of recent threads concerning this that would be worth viewing.

yep, no MOT for 3 years after SVA required

What if it went on a Q plate .

should still be no MOT for 3 years...

yep, mines a Q plate and no MOT needed, have re-taxed since online and didn't ask for mot

Hi, I had to provide MOT even though only SVAd 18 months ago on a Q plate!!

Well, you shouldn't have to. People who have had this problem have often taken the v5 with them and shown the date of first use bit, and the tax people have said ok. Or ring swansea and get them to change it. Or local dvla office. There are some staff in them who have half a bit of common sense. Or so I'm told. Have yet to meet them though...

phoned vosa and they said no mot needed for 3 years even on a Q plate. but they recommend you get one yearly
