    I think that's if you have the reminder. If you only have the 5C then you need to show MOT

    I've already said I have taxed using the V5C new keepers slip, no tax renewal reminder.

    My car is over 12 years old so yes it does require an MOT, but you are now not required to show one at the PO.

    Maybe the PO website hasn't been updated.

    The PO websites still refer to needing an insurance certificate. So you are right its not been updated

    Wrong though regarding an MOT. You are (supposed) to bring it in to the post office

    What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^

    At the Post Office

    Go to your local Post Office. You'll need to take:
    • completed V11 reminder
    • MOT test certificate if required (must be valid when the tax disc starts)
    • the payment shown on the reminder
    In Northern Ireland you'll also need an insurance certificate or cover note.

    Presumably because your vehicle was not old enough to need an MOT or was MOT-exempt (or the PO clerk was in error).
    OP - you need to produce an MOT

    Well it was seven years old, so I know it needs a valid MOT and has one!.
