M O T and taxing car

daffas6688

My partner has acquired a car from his brother and he has posted him the new keeper suppliment for the car and my partner has insured the car in his name. Unfortunately the M O T has been lost and the brother seems to believe that he taxed another car once before in the main Post office without the M O T because they checked there and then. As the car isn't yet in my partners name he can't tax this on line I believe? Or is the only way out to get duplicate at an M O T station for £10?

You can check the MOT status at http://www.motinfo.gov.uk with the registration number and the doc ref from the V5 / V5 new keepers slip.

Get the brother to tax the car online, give him the money. Just like buying a car that has tax on it already.

That's assuming the DVLA have sent him the tax reminder.

The PO dont have access to the MOT info site, which is why you need to present the MOT at th PO.

you can get a duplicate MOT from any MOT station. Some charge a tenner, some dont.

Get your OH's brother to tax online?
