VED question

[metcars 397]

Hypothetically, if an owner was paying VED by direct debit and the car failed it’s MOT, how long would the system take (if at all) to detect this? Or would the DD continue ‘ad infinitum’. I’m guessing it’s until either the insurance runs out or the ‘feds’ appear?

Interesting

Of course being a tight git my current user is free ved, so I don't have these social housing user problems

Because part 2 of my question is, if the owner eventually eg after 2 months gets a pull for no mot, do ‘feds’ consider VED. Watching cop shows like ‘police stop wars interceptors’ dvla have their own enforcement team that proactively seeks out untaxed cars, which is an offence. Can you see where I’m going where the direct debit is concerned?
