Motor cars, motorcycles and light goods vehicles manufactured or registered before 1960 will be exempt from the mandatory MOT testing from the end of this month.
MOT reminders will no longer be issued for these vehicles from September 30 next.
The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) will continue to offer tests on a voluntary basis, but only at the request of the vehicle owner.
The vehicle inspection process has not changed and any pre-1960 vehicle for testing will continue to be inspected in the normal way.
It is anticipated that the bulk of voluntary tests will be from vehicles intended for “cherished transfers,” as the registration transfer scheme still requires a test certificate.
