Is this tax and MOT exempt

[MsRose]

Just bought a 1962 Minor.
Is this tax and MOT exempt?
Many thanks

[amgrave]

It's tax exempt but still has to be MOT'd. You will still have to apply for tax but you don't pay.

[MsRose]

Thank you.

I assume I can still do the tax online?

[amgrave]

As far as I know, yes.

make sure it says historic on the v5 otherwise its taxation class will need amending, i am not sure if tax class can be done online

[MsRose]

Thanks Graham, will do

And of course - be sure to get good 'Classic Car' insurance - including Roadside and Recovery services.

[MsRose]

I've gone with Footman James for Insurance and I have breakdown cover on any car that I'm driving or a passenger in with the AA. They cover any roadworthy vehicle up to 3.5 tonne.

[bmcecosse]

Your FJ insurance should surely have cover for Roadside etc. RH Insurance certainly does. Check carefully on that AA policy - some of them have an 'age limit' hidden in the small print.

I'm afraid to say that I have used the AA many times over the years not only with Minors but also pre war vehicles so can safely say there is no age limit.

[bmcecosse]

That's good - I wasn't specifically targeting the AA - but I do know some have been 'disappointed' when in need of help with some of the Recovery services to find it in the small print.
