First MOT
Just been to the post office to tax the Kit, they said the car needed a MOT after the first year because I had it registed on a old log book. I rang
the tax office who said the same. I thought it was 3 year?

The tax office said if I was pulled or I needed to claim on insurance they would ask for a MOT.

What d u mean by registering it on an old log book? The year of manufacture should say last year. If not it'll be older than 3 years I guessing.
its not still registered as your donor car is it?

I registed it last year, donor log book from a 1994 ford, as I had used the old ford diff, received a old registration E Reg I think, so I then put a
private reg.

Naughty......
If you got pulled the lack of MOT might not be the only problem. Incorrectly registered cars are not very popular (understatement) with the DVLA (or
the police!) for obvious reasons. If they pull up the number of your car on a database it'll show up as a 1994 Ford which (unless the copper
knows nothing about cars) it clearly isn't.....

Woah - there's no legal problem here. He's just got an age related plate, the same prefix as the donor vehicle. Quite normal, and not
illegal at all. It just suggests that all but a couple of major components came from the same donor.
This does however seem to confuse the DVLA - I got 'caught out' and took my old J-plate Indy for an MOT after a year.
It's not necessary and there's a bloomin' good post on here somewhere that explains all. Can we stop the scaremongering now
please?
Hang on - edit having seen this:

Except, that doesn't seem right somehow. That suggests to me that they've registered your car in the same way that they register a grey
import and hence, I have no idea......

Did u do a SVA?
It shouldnt be saying 1994, that suggests to me you have same registration as donor and therefore its not showing as only 1 year old.

You shouldn't have been able to register it before SVA. For a kit to be registered it has to have a MAC certificate first. DVLA screwed up!
I think you need to go and see them and get it sorted (good luck!). The MOT is the least of it.

use the above link to see what details are recorded on the data base for your reg. If its still the doner car then you need to sort it out.
You Cant register a kit and get a reg before the SVA -
Do you still have the MAC

Sounds like DVLA have screwed up.....
Have you still got the MAC then???
You probably need to retrospectively apply for an age-related plate. Considering DVLA screwed up I expect they'll do whatever you want

If your car is now registered as an MNR, and all seems well, I'd be very tempted to do the MOT and move on. Otherwise you're going to be
doing a lot of letter writing etc etc. For the sake of £36....
What are other peoples' views on this?

I think he technically hasnt got the right documents for his car, therfore his car isnt registered and therefore hasnt the right insurance and
therefore should phone and sort with DVLA-
if for example he left as is and he was given a producer for a crash- Im sure the police would have something to say.

Phoned dvla twice, Both times they said that any car that has been registed with some donor parts will get a age related plate.
Any car with a age related plate needs a MOT after the first year.
Looks like I am of to get a MOT tomorrow.

I'm sure even Q plates don't need an MOT before 3 years. it does sound very odd. i did have mine inspected before sva, but no chance of
reg before sva.

Assuming you used Stockton DVLA i will be shocked if it has been registered incorrectly. kelly at Stockton did mine Dec05. I know Coozer had his done
by same person this year so ill guess there is continuity.
Did DVLA issue you the age related registration docs before SVA? Or did you just contact them before SVA to get the paperwork etc and then after SVA
hand in MAC etc before they gave you the reg? I had home inspection several weeks before SVA but it wasnt until after SVA that i could complete the
application and get the reg and V5.
Assuming your car has been registered correctly, i had a similar issue 6 months after registration when i went for next 6 months tax (or maybe the tax
at the 12 month anniversary - cant remember which now). Couldnt do it online as it asked for MOT. i contacted Kelly and she told me to send V5 back
into her with a cheque for tax - reconfirmed that no MOT due for 3 years. She sent tax disc to me in post and V5 off to swansea. The error was with
Swansea. V5 was created incorrectly. log book came back - looked identical to me but there are various codes on it that might have changed. Taxing has
been Ok since.
Hope this helps you. Keep us posted.

Yes I am on a age related plate, but when I registed they gave me a different reg same year I think.
Log book says mnr but it also says
first registed 1994
First registed in uk 2007

I'd agree with TimC. It sounds as though the DVLA have made a slight error. You could either open a can of worms with the DVLA and spend loads
of time writing letters or stump up the money for an MOT.
Personally, I'd pay for the MOT and forget about it.
