Mk3iain Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Beware ! This Milly is for re-sale by another vendor on Milweb, shown as MOT exempt ! It is not exempt an MOT and has never had one so no extension due to Covid either. Edited May 26, 2020 by Mk3iain add a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe locomotives are still exempt but mobile cranes are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe locomotives are still exempt but mobile cranes are not. I don't know Mike. Having looked into this in depth including discussions with DVSA HGV tech there is no way this is exempt an MOT. I have heard many dodgy ways folk hoped to avoid the MOT but according to DVSA unless it is STG or pre 60 not used commercially it needs an MOT. No ifs or buts. I asked specifically when I had mine ! The MOT would have been due at next renewal of road tax (free for this) and I think I am correct also on changing ownership as the tax is cancelled. It may be possible to make an exemption declaration and get it taxed but this would be a false declaration with all the possible consequences. At the end of the day if it is roadworthy it should pass the MOT, if it is not roadworthy it should not be on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fully agreed but in a round about way it is currently exempt as I have just noticed it is on SORN! Many years ago I owned an Explorer which was declared as a mobile crane with minimal RFL and able to run on red diesel but I always had to have a legitimate excuse for driving it on the road such as road test, showing to a potential buyer or going to a job. I was never pulled and I doubt the average plod would have known the full implications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It is a definite buyer beware. I expect the seller is unaware of the need for an MOT, but was a recent purchase. At least with an MOT a buyer would have a bit of confidence about the condition and that the hard to test things like brakes, wheel bearings, joints etc have been tested and found OK. Anyway, it would all be fine until it all goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
