[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 489410, member: 6969"] The age for "historic vehicle" £0 road tax is now 40 years old. When it was first introduced it was indeed only 25 years, but it was a fixed date so effectively the qualifying age got older each year. It was some time later (when it reached 40 years I guess) that they made the date a rolling date. So e.g 1980 vehicles become £0 tax from next year. I think it was 2 years ago they also made the MOT exemption a rolling 40 years, same as the £0 tax. But that only applies to vehicles that are substantially original. There is a list of modifications you can do and still be MOT exempt but not a lot. It has to have the original drive train for example, though you are allowed to upgrade the brakes. When my Landrover used to go for an MOT, there was so little that actually needed testing that it took him about 20 minutes to test it. He then put the kettle on and we drank tea, waiting for the MOT computer to tick up to 45 minutes before it would allow you to log a pass. [/QUOTE]
