DVLA

Post by stevewharton »

Just been on the DVLA website to check when my road tax and mot exempt kettle, needs re-taxing and re-mot'ing :tw :roll: :roll: :roll: and it looks like they're now charging for this service.
Unless I've got it wrong, there's now a 50p one off charge, or a £5.95 a month charge, paid for through a debit card for the service.
Has anyone else seen this?
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

If you look carefully you are not on the official DVLA website. You have landed on one of those scavenging websites that offers a totally unneeded "service"

Not exactly a scam but not far off

Cheers Kev, just realised that myself and with a bit more searching have found the correct site. FAB is "taxed" :tw until the end of April but there's no info' on the mot status, so I guess it'll just need re-applying for when the road tax is renewed.

Steve you still have to declare it MOT exempt with either V112 at post office or do it on line see Tax MOT topic a few months back last year in General Chat :)

Hi Dave, yeh did it online last year, just couldn't remember whether I did it at the same time as the road tax or later.

I rang DVLA last week to ask about MOT exemption before I sent off the docs to register the T200, and they said if a vehicle is over 40 and eligible for Historic status, it's automatic.
Might be worthwhile asking at the P.O. perhaps?
