MOT legalities (uk) for 40yr old bikes since registration

[ukjules]

Just wrote a long explanation but all text
gone as using mobile.....

I'll let you guys believe that but I too have
done this and a few weeks ago online and at the post
office with bikes 40 years old and not historic.

The dvla site is where it's all stated
and is clear.

I most certainly have no issue riding a bike
40yrs old that is taxed insured and in superb condition
on the road but not yet classed as historic.

Just to end ... I wrote to dvla and
they have in writing agreed with my thoughts.

But I agree with Zed that be prepared for a long
discussion if you get stopped as it is confusing.
I also carry copies of all documents as Zed said,
Insurance and v112 filled out.

40 years old is the only criteria for not requiring
a mot and using on road.

Tax and Insurance we know about.
