Had it MOT’d this week, as it’s’ 86 only one more to go then it can become historic!
It’s never had an advisory, been a bit of a thing with me, want to keep it that way.
Outside my favourite pub.
Only one more MOT to go.

So Ms Reeves budget has not changed the historic status car tax (VED) exemption age. The existing system for 40yrs tax & MOT exemption remains in place. So great news for classic car owners.
Let’s hope it stays that way.

Let’s hope it stays that way.Mine was 40 the year before but I had to wait until the next April as my build/reg date fell after the cutoffs.

You can bet that's probably only because a good many MPs, politicians, etc. own classic cars, but good news all the same !minesapint wrote: ↑Wed Nov 26, 2025 11:21 pmSo Ms Reeves budget has not changed the historic status car tax (VED) exemption age.

Probably quite true.
Although you can’t trust them…….. look what’s happened to EV’s.
