HISTORIC VEHICLE MOT AND TAX EXEMPTION EXPLAINED?
the run-up to the implementation of the new exemptions in May 2018, there have already been some notable and significant changes to how historic vehicles exemption is defined. Until last December the incoming legislation excluded substantially modified vehicles of 40 (or more) years old that didn’t meet requirements of a subjective eight-point list. This had been simplified to limit any modifications to not exceed an additional power to weight ratio of more than 15% above that of the vehicle’s original design specifications. This is unless the modification was carried out before 1988.
