Mattyboy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Maybe a silly question but, many of us drive our pre 1960 vehicles with no MOT or HGV because they were built before 1960, my MV was built in 1942 and was de-mobbed in 68 when it was road registered hence the 'E' prefix number plate, the log book states first registration as 1968. So if I were to be pulled by VOSA/Police and questions are asked, how do I prove otherwise or is it on record at DVLA that it was built in 1942 and the Police/VOSA would know this after a PNC check?

Marmite!! Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The details should show up on the PNC/DVLA Database if you get pulled over. You can check if the details are registered correctly with the DVLA Online vehicle enquiries You can use this service to check certain information that DVLA holds on its database about a vehicle including: year of manufacture date of first registration engine capacity colour expiry date of the current tax disc or SORN declaration vehicle excise duty rate https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/home/intro If registered correctly you could print of the results to keep with you.

Adrian Barrell Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It also has to be over 3500kg gross to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm 7500kg, just put my details on the DVLA web site and the vehicle was not found, more interesting is I put the registration of a friends vehicle again made in 42, registered in 68 and DVLA web site has it listed as manufactured in 68 hmmm....

Is it currently taxed (or Sorned)? If not it might be off their radar. I have the same thing with a tractor, not been on the road in years, but I have the V5 (albeit old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
