MOT or not?
OK,
SVAd this time last year and licensed with age related plate.
V5 States first registered 1980 and 5 previous owners.
Then the details follow my stated make name chassis No etc. etc.
Under 'Special Notes' states:
1) Kit built/converted - assembled from parts all of which may not be new.
2) SVA cert issued 14/9/2007
The local DVLA said I would need an MOT after a year.
Some people on here say not. When I try to tax on line I'm told I need an MOT
Is it worth attempting to question this, say at the post office, or is it time to 'roll over' and go for the MOT?
Ta
Mike

presumably when tax reminder arrives it will tell you on that.
From memory the consensus on here seems to be not reqd until 3 years.
Cheers, Pewe

Try as I might I can't get DVLA to agree to register my car without an MoT so it's going in tomorrow for a test (to see if the horn works
and the tyres have some tread - buggered if I can think of anything else that SVA hasn't already tested)
At the end of the day life's too short and it should sail through MoT (I hope!)

I'd take it for mot. if its not due the computer should tell the tester, in which case the teste can just abort the test. If it is due they can
just do the test.

My Viento has been on the road for over a year now, I got 12 months tax for the first year (at registration) then taxed after that for 6 months and my
reminder did not say MOT needed so taxed online
Just had my reminder thiss week for tax again and like before NO MOT needed.
So its three years for my first mot then!!!!
ps my car was registered in May 2007 on age related plate.
SVA tester said then i wouldnt need it for 3 years
cheers colin

Balljoints, trackrod ends, horn, play in steering rack, wheel bearings, tyre tread, having said all that you don't need one if it's a new
chassis it's just your DVLA office being $$$$$s because it's their game & they can make you jump through the hoops.

That is the problem, when it has been registered it has been done incorrectly, local DVLA offices see so few kitcars they don't know how to do
it properly. You have too choices, either just get it MOT'd or spend the next 3 years of your life in & out of DVLA offices, spend a huge
fortune on phone bills trying to get to somebody sensible all the while your kit sits in the garage.

Your car has been registered wrong by Swansea i fear. 5 owners in one year is a lot.
Did you get the donor reg or just the same suffix / prefix?
Sounds like you have donor reg and your car has assumed the donors details. If you still have contact details for local DVLA id be calling them asap
if i was you.

Just been through it all last month. 100% you do need a MOT. I contacted DVLA, VOSA AT LEAST 6/7 Said the same thing every time (MOT)

My V5 says first registered in 2005, got a Q plate and every year I've tried to renew tax online and told I need an MOT. The Tax reminder also
says I need an MOT. Every year I've gone into the Post Office and shown them the V5 and they have just crossed off the MOT requirement on the
tax form and sold me the tax disc. 3 years are up on 18 October, so it looks like I will have to get an MOT this year 
The online DVLA information all says that a car needs an MOT 3 years after first registration. If you keep the same reg as the donor (not just
age-related) that implies that the chassis must be the same as the donor, which is not the case with our cars so it is possible that some cars have
been incorrectly registered by DVLA in the first place.

Our car was registered in September 2004, On the V5 it states that the car was registered in the year 2004 and there are NO previous owners.
Taxed it for the first 3 years with NO MOT and it had it's first MOT last year and is due it's second in the next couple of weeks.
It would seem that your car has been registered incorrectly by the DVLA. I don't know how else that will affect you other than the MOT and also
maybe the resale value.
Edited to ask if you kept the doners Registration as we were given an age related, previously unissued number.

Mine was registered June 2006 on age related plate and confirmed at the time by local DVLA office no MOT required until 2009. Not been asked for one
yet at tax renewal.
