In the interests of clarity we have used in this document and in the proposed legislation the phrase “vehicles of historical interest” rather than the more commonly used term “classic car”. We have replicated the wording in the Directive as there is no established legal definition of a classic car. In addition, the vehicles covered include other, non-car vehicle types such as motorcycles.

Re: Historic Vehicle MOT's
Detail of outcome
The outcome from the ‘Roadworthiness testing for vehicles of historic interest’ consultation was released on 14 September 2017.
We have decided that most vehicles over 40 years old (on a rolling basis) will be exempt from MOT testing from 20 May 2018.
Those that have been ‘substantially changed’ will still require yearly testing.
