Hello,

The vendor of this van on Ebay claims it is road test exempt. 370001550152

Sounds unlikely somehow. Can it be?


Not thinking about buying - just curious how such an exemption might be
obtained.

Cheers.

That'd be exempt from tax, then, rather than test.
Probably.

Doh!

Mis-read it.

I which case, I can't see why it would be MOT exempt.

Mind you, the seller is an illiterate fuckwit who also appears to be
colour blind, so it's highly likely he's talking out of his arse.

If I remember correctly, and I can't find a reference off hand, commercial
vehicles of over 3500kg and pre 1960 are exempt from needing an MoT. You are
not allowed to carry a load however. Its all to do with them not fitting on
a standard MoT testers ramp and so having to be done (or not done in this
case) by HGV testers.

I suppose this one could just slide in.

A friend has a pre-war 3 tonner and it certainly does not need an MoT.
