Sorn & MOT
joe90:
Looking for some advice here, if anyone can help.
I have been restoring my Series 3 for a while now, and it has been kept in a garage/workshop on a private estate. The MOT Expired in November, and i decided to hold back in having the MOT done until all the work was complete. (Mainly, chasis weld up, new footwells, respray, brake over haul, engine over haul, gear box over haul, axle overhaul).
The tax expires on the vehicle at the end of next month (March) and the vehicle wont be ready for an MOT before the tax expires.
So in short if i declaire the vehicle SORN (Which i will have to do not having a valid MOT) how do i go about getting an MOT when it is ready..... I.e can i pre-book a test and drive it there or do i have to trailer it to the test. Then apply for a tax disc once i have a Valid MOT.
The vehicle is still insured.
Hope that all made sense......
Thanks
Joe

that is just what i was after - what site was that from, can you post the link?
I know ive got another 5 or 6 weeks yet, to complete the work but I'm on exercise next weekend and SWMBO has organised a few weekends away with friends, so i almost loose a month!
Many thanks

you can drive it to your mot station on sworn, but do make sure you have pre booked it as that is a stupulation, and really should be the closest mot station to you, and drive directly there and back, no detours!

Any vehicle can be driven to and from a testing station for the purposes of having its MOT by appointment without tax and a MOT but must be INSURED, if there are any faults that are notified to you either on an advisory note or a VT30 failure certificate, then if you remove the vehicle from the garage to have the faults rectified and have accident then if the fault was a contributory factor then you could have a problem with your insurance :ie faulty tyres would be a good example
