Is my Morris officially MoT exempt? Historic Vehicle vs Vehicle of Historic Interest
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2019 9:31 pm
I think I've jumped through all the hoops but I just want to check with other owners who've declared their car MoT-exempt that I've taken all the right steps!
I completed a 'Declaration of exemption from MoT' from V112 and produced it at the Post Office when re-taxing my car last year, my tax reminder letter confirms my car to be an Historic Vehicle, as does my logbook.
However, I've noticed the term 'Vehicle of Historic Interest' used in the government guidance on what constitutes substantial changes - see link.

So is my Historic Vehicle classification the same thing as a Vehicle of Historic Interest classification? Is it now legally MoT-exempt?
And before anyone tells me I shouldn't be shunning the MoT test, I'm getting my car voluntarily tested every other year!
