Classic and historic cars exempted from MoT

>> Classic and historic cars exempted from MoT. <<

Good or Bad idea?

At first I thought it was a bit stupid but after thinking about it properly I realised that the cars in question are probably the best maintained vehicles on the road.

Makes sense, especially if you consider how these cars tend to be driven and the type of people who own them.

Hows that then? The 25 year rolling thing stopped years ago and it was fixed at 1972 or older?

Most do look after their motors, (Mine is 1971), but not everyone will. Given that most don't cover as many miles as your every day car maybe an MOT every two or three years might be better?

Bu@@er, I'll have to trade it in for an older one.

They will still have to be roadworthy, tractors have never had to have an MoT. You can't get away with it lashed up with bodge tape and bailer twine.

An MOT Break would be welcome. A tax amnesty would be even better. I'm not holding my breath.

My 1964 BSA is Tax free but will still need to MOT the old Dear.

Cut off date is 1960, so my 1962 Sunbeam Alpine will still need one. Bugger
