MOT day for the red car and it passed without a problem. Just need to get some miles on it to check for problems.
Surely that plate didn’t pass an MoT John?

Does that mean there’s a different class of MOT for cars going through that process? I had a car fail it’s MOT a few weeks ago for letters not being of the prescribed size and a spacing?
Yes Jon, different rules apply when the MOT is for first registration and it doesn't yet have a registration number.
I was under the impression you still had to get it Mot for the registration process but once that is done you can opt out of the mot the following yearCan you register an import now without an MOT because of the 40-year rule?
Or do you still have to have it tested to register it?
I did clean the accumulated dust off mine last weekend. That is all.

Thanks for the replies. Thing is though, someone with a registered Austin A30 for example could drive it about with no MoT, and it might have been standing for 10 years with holes in the floor etc, wing hanging off. My mate used to drive his old Anglia in the early 80s, with both rear wings flapping about like a heron taking off ...!
Although it would be classed as an offence nowadays, much more than in the old days.
Surely DVLA will need evidence that the vehicle is road worthy before issuing it with UK plates , hence the need for 1st UK MOT?
Otherwise one can import junk and assign it UK plates and drive on the road's..
