Tax issue
Benzine - 20/4/07 at 05:36 PM

My MK has been on the road for just over a year now and I just went to the post office to tax it. They said I can't since I don't have an MOT certificate. I've read through similar threads where people say to tax it online but when I tried that it says:

"To continue, please confirm that your vehicle has been issued with a new style (electronic) MOT (Copy not required to complete transaction)."

Which i don't have since I don't need an MOT for over another year. Where can i get a tax disk? Should I get one from the Notts dvla office? that's where I got mine last time after sorting out the car reg/inspection stuff. Would just mean an hour and a half round trip compaired to 5 mins to the local PO

I had this issue filled out the forms that was discussed a while ago.

went down to my local PO on a busy saturday morning explained to which the very nice lady listenned and said

Her - Have you your V5 ?

Me - Reply Yes

Her - Give it here then 'Scans Barcode on V5 into here computer'

Her - Yes thats fine 6 months or 12

Me - ( very shocked ) -12 please handing over lots of hard erned readies

Me - asked why her computer said yes ok without MOT cert YET the DVLA renew certificates says NO MOT no tax disk !?!?!?

Her - Don't know but we have lots of issues with the renew certificates so if problems we try to do it from the V5 .

Try it it worked for me

Poit out the first date of registration and tell her that it is less than three years old and doesn't need one.

I Taxed my car last week no problem. it was sorned and I could not do it on line.

I did mine at the local DVLA office without MOT certificate.

Sorted, went to a local village office that does car tax. The woman behind the counter did ask for an MOT cert. but I pointed out the reg date on the V5, then one of the chaps who worked there backed me up

I'm going out for a spin now
