couldnt tax the car online as it says i need a MOT, went to the post office and had to get upset before i left with my tax disk after filling out another form.

date of registration 25 04 2007
date of first registration 25 04 2007

now am i going to get pulled by the plod now for not having a mot ?

I'm not having a go, I have a serious question

When did we brits start filling forms "out" ? As far as I remember, the first 30 years of my life, we all filled forms "in"[1], what happened ?

[1] I still do !

lol

You don't need an MOT for the first 3 years so not a problem. Also can't recall anyone being pulled by the plod for not having an MOT as long as they have road tax. MOT is more of an insurance issue...

Ask your local dvla for a v112 form, worked for me as I taxed my car at the post office on Thursday with one. Declaration of manufacture of less than 3yrs.
Hope this helps..

Download V112 from here http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/DoItOnline/DG_4017716
According to DVLA if your car doesn't need a MOT you have to produce this certificate, this is why the Post Office get confused.
"Form V112 is available for vehicle owners who run vehicles which are exempt from MOT testing, and must be produced in place of an MOT certificate with an application for a vehicle licence (tax disc)"
