Owner last changed in 2022, and no previous MOT history since May 2007, I know Alan touched on this issue as not technically required, I can’t exactly recall when the MOT exemption came in. Google indicates 2018, so what exemptions were there before and did this motor qualify?? I understand the financial benefit of not testing, but for me I think I’d prefer to get a second opinion from my local friendly tester, just to cast an eye over any work that has been done and hopefully pick up any ‘oversights’. Not sure if testers can do ‘unofficial’ tests such as braking etc without it showing on system, otherwise I think I’d pay the £50 for peace of mind, extra value if selling. Afraid an Amazon just doesn’t ’do it’ for me, and somehow I cannot explain why?? Go on Andrew, you know you want it……….. Cheers Steve |

I also agree with the "£50 for peace of mind" test, garages will do it unofficially but you'll pay time and labour charges that will often exceed the cost of the "official" MoT test unless you have a friendly MoT tester that will charge you the same as for an MoT (or less) and do the same inspection as this car would be subject to if it had an official test.

If I had the space I more than likely would.
I agree about the MOT thing . If I remember correctly, exemption was just pre-1971 after some government meddling, then it became 40+ years.

MOT exemption for the Amazon would have been in 2011-2012

Surely that should have been ~2008-2009? It's a 1968 car so would have reached 40 years old in 2008 and (assuming my memory isn't playing tricks) i'm fairly sure the 40 year rule was in place at that time. Back in 2004 i had a 1979 Datsun Skyline C210 that would (under the old rules) have become tax/MoT exempt in 2009 but the rules changed and it wouldnt have been exempt until 2019 - that's why i'm fairly sure i'm correct on the 40 year thing.

So with that fact I'm unsure now about the Amazon, possibly 2018 as you said earlier
