M.O.T question?

[ginge51]

Hi all

I'm buying a bike that has no M.O.T on it and wondering seeing how i need insurance on the bike will i be able to get the bike insured seeing how the bike has no M.O.T ?
Or if i tell them the second the bike get's insurance i will send it straight for It's M.O.T .
Will this be possible?

Thanks :

You can get it insured without an MOT. You need insurance and MOT to get tax. You can ride to a pre-booked MOT if you don't have any tax on, but you do need insurance.

So will i be able to get the bike insured if i tell them the 1st thing i do seeing how It's not got no mot on it,the 1st thing I'll do is book it for an mot.
Plus there's still 2 months tax left on it.

Dont need to tell the insurance that. Get it insured and as mentioned, Pre-book the MOT, Get it through the MOT (first try hopefully ) and thats you.

Yep, as mentioned above.

1) Insure your bike
2) MOT it
3) Use both the above to Tax it.

Job done.

The Law you are looking for is VERA 1994 Schedule 2, Section 22, subsection 2

You are exempt from Road Tax and MoT Requirements on your way to or from a pre-booked MoT

There are a couple of other provisions. However as the people above said you do require insurance wherenever you are on the public highway.

New bikes have no MOT but when do they require testing?

Further more:

They do not require MOT or tax if they have a registered SORN.

And you need to be legally entitled to ride the bike. ie have a licence.

It's a bliddy minefield owning a bike....

Yes, but a SORN'd bike shouldn't be on the road except under VERA 1994.

Trade licences are covered by VERA 1994 part 1 - Sections 11 - 14

And to split hares further a vehicle with trade plates on is taxed while wearing them.

Rabbits like the Dormouse are an import and therefore not authentic...



However Hares are native and therefore are fair game...
