Hi folks,can you settle an argument? A geyser at the end of the road has an old truck,and he boasts that it`s MOT exempt for some reason. Why would a vehicle be exempt? It`s quite an old truck and looks like it OUGHT to be subject to testing! Where can I get the official list of what needs an MOT test and what don`t? The DVLA say they don`t deal with,oddly enough. Ta in advance,Jerry.

Got this from www.dvla.gov.uk/forms/pdf/v112.pdfThe following vehicles are not subject to the requirement to produce an MoT certificate in support of an application for a vehicle licence: (a) track laying vehicles (b) articulated vehicles not being an articulated bus (c) works trucks (d) invalid carriages not exceeding 306 kg unladen weight (e) vehicles used only in passing from land in the occupation of the person keeping the vehicle to other land in his occupation and not used on the road for distances exceeding an aggregate of 6 miles in a calendar week (f ) hackney carriages or private hire cars licensed to ply for hire by certain local authorities authorised to carry out roadworthiness checks on their vehicles (g) hackney carriages granted licences by Transport for London (h) electrically propelled goods vehicles (i) tramcars (j) trolley vehicles that are not auxiliary trolley vehicles (k) vehicles authorised for use on the roads by a Special Types General Order made under Section 44(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (l) vehicles used exclusively on certain islands that lack a bridge, tunnel, ford, or other suitable way for motor vehicles to be conveniently driven to a road in any part of Great Britain. Hope this answers your question.

If the truck is over 3500kgs Gross Vehicle Weight and is not used for hire or reward and not drawing a laden trailer and is pre-1960 it can be declared exempt due to its age.
Hope this helps

was wondering what is a works truck?
also remember a breakdown truck can only be used just for broken down vehicles only.it cannot be used for transporting repaired vehicles..
