MOT on an import

[fast_tzr]

Does anyone happen to know whether having your bike MOT'd after 3 years goes on the year of manufacture, or the year of registration?

The bike is a 2005, however it was registered in 2007, does it need doing this year?

Cheers

year of reg assuming it was new when imported.

Hi

Not sure, but if it was registered abroad first then I would expect it to need MOTing a year after first UK registration.

All the best

Hi

Found this:-

If it was used abroad then it will need an MoT 3 years from the date manufacture, if it is older than 3 years it will need an MoT before it is offered a UK registration number.
