Grantlfc81 88 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) evening gents. just tried to tax a car with a v62 at the post, never had a problem before however... mot'd the car this morning as it had expired, I went to tax the car this afternoon but couldn't..... when I came back to office the mot had not updated. I thought it updated instantly on the system. the question I am asking is, can a car be taxed with no MOT, I think the answer is no but cannot find any info on google. which is why im assuming the tax was denied on their computer Edited August 22, 2019 by Grantlfc81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lady at dvla said the reason I couldn’t tax it was because it hadn’t gone into trade! I reckon she wanted me off the phone at all costs as it was 5:30!

have a word with the wife 299 Posted August 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Tony911 said: A bit unusual as the mot instantly goes on the data base as what I found short answer no, or well, not always,i tested a customers car, and told him he could go tax it 2pm, still had 2 days mot left, p.o. refused, sent him back up at 4 and they taxed it, and this was with his renewal notice, not a log book or a application for the aforesaid, i think it comes down to how busy dvsa is regarding updating, and you can not tax a car with only 2 days test left.

From my experience you can tax a car if the MOT is valid for the month you are taxing it into. So for example if you want to tax a car on the 1st of Sept. ,the MOT can expire on the 2nd of Sept and no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
