You may have to take the V5c to a Post Office, to prove age. When I try to Tax mine online it says that I need a MOT, but the Post
Office doesn't?
It doesn't need a MOT until the 3rd year after registration, mine was registered in May 2013, so no MOT needed until 2017

"The date of first registration(for MOT purposes) is counted as the last day of the year the car was registered in", as told to me by the guy at the post office, he pointed me to the relevant documentation. I am going to check again before the next birthday is due, but when I checked it was cosher.

If its the same as new cars, my L200 was due for mot 3 years from the date of 1st reg, it was registered 7 Sept 2009, and was due its 1st MOT 7 Sept 2012.

There is a beta test site from the DVLA to check - Link

Err - no, it doesn't specify any date for the MoT, merely states that the "DVLA holds no information on MoT for this vehicle". Which is presently on SORN, just to clarify.

However, according to all the foregoing views, I should need a first MoT certificate from 1st Sept 2016. Fine by me!!

It's three years from the date of registration. If your post office guy was right then all MOT's would become due on 31 Dec and a car registered on 1st Jan wouldn't need an MOT for 4 years... Safe to say he's wrong.
