I read the gov site before posting , but I wondered if anyone here has an exempt recovery truck or if it’s possible , I’ve not looked for a date on the site I just googled it
scrapcarcomparison.co.uk/bl … ot-exempt/I’ll put my neck on the line and say that site is wrong. Not least of all because taxis are not MOT exempt, that’s utter nonsense, as is the segment on recovery vehicles being exempt. Whoever wrote that is confusing O-licencing with MOTs, and I’d wager they’re not covered by professional indemnity insurance to cover themselves for advising.
I recently spent a whole afternoon researching MOT exemptions, just to see if a scrap trailer with no MOT could be towed by one of our units to our yard for scrapping. The answer was no. Everything comes back to V112
gov.uk/government/publicati … n-from-mot
Could you legally tow a trailer with an expired mot to its mot appointment? And if it failed, onwards for repair?
