Scenario:
Car has been off road since December (got a new car, just never got around to selling the old one!).
MOT expired in February.
Tax expires end of this month (next week).
When explaining the situation when booking an MOT locally, I was looked at like I was some sort of criminal, and told that I should have notified, because the vehicle was off road.
I explained that it was my understanding that this was related to Tax, and if I chose not to retax the vehicle next week, I would declare SORN to the DVLA, but I was not aware of any such requirement to maintain a valid MOT or notify otherwise.
Was he talking from his posterior?
If I was supposed to notify someone that I was keeping a vehicle off road with an expired MOT - who do I notify?
I've looked at VOSAs and DVLAs websites, and can find nothing about this.
He said there had been adverts on TV about it???
I've seen adverts relating to TAX., but none about MOTs???
Needless to say, I've taken the vehicle elsewhere to be MOTd.
