Declaration of exemption from MOT. Form V112.
Posted: Wed May 23, 2018 7:45 pm
The V5C for my 1969 Traveller shows the taxation class as Historic Vehicle. It was ‘Taxed’ until 30 June 2018. It’s MOT expires on 25 May 2018.
To take advantage of the new MOT exemption coming into force from 20 May 2018 I submitted an online SORN on 22 May 2018 with the intention of re taxing it the next day at the post office and handing over a completed form V112 (Declaration of exemption from MOT that I had downloaded from the internet).
The trouble is my local post office has not heard of form V112 and refused to take it from me. Instead they merely re-taxed the vehicle and told me to contact DVLA.
A nice lady on the phone at DVLA said it was not their form despite it bearing their name and Logo! She said it was the responsibility of the DVSA (Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency) and gave me their phone number.
Another nice lady at the DVSA said it was not their form either! She added that they had received lots of calls about this and said it was the fault of the Post Office for failing to train staff. She told me to take it up with the Post Office.
Back to the Post Office again but remember they have not heard of form V112 so they cannot help!
So now I am back home with my completed form V112 that no one wants to see or record.
Has anyone been successful in sorting out exemption from MOT under the new regs? Please tell me where I am going wrong.
Thanks.
