The Government made all classic vehicles pre 1960 many years ago but now they have changed it so that its if your vehicle is more than 40 years old , read more here 

Did you know that you can still have your car MOT’d even if it is exempt from MOT?

Most companies, mechanics, MOT testers and classic car owners and enthusiasts disagree with this ruling and some people tried to set up a classic car inspection service but it was never a success due to the cost of the inspection and the fact that it wasn’t Mandatory.

The MOT test Fee, £54.85 is the cheapest part of motoring  working out at 0.15p per day. and for that you can drive your car around with peace of mind that it has been inspected.

If your car has sat on the drive undercover or in a garage how do you know the condition of your tyre’s, wheel cylinders or brake hoses? And petrol hose deteriorates quickly these days, resulting in catastrophic engine bay fires.

Even though you may have registered your car Exempt from MOT , it is the owner or drivers responsibility to ensure that it is safe and roadworthy. If you had an accident that was proven to be your fault, you could be fined, prosecuted or maybe your insurance company may not pay out. Its certainly worth reading the small print or looking into.
