What happens if you have an old car, which is VED and MOT exempt?

Presumably yes. The only changes are how to pay and not receiving a paper disc.0

If the car is pre-1973, you don't pay.
If it's pre-1960, you don't need an MOT either.0 -

From 1st April 2014, all 1973 vehicles don't need to pay either.
It's going to be a rolling exemption from 1st April 2015.0 -
Is the MOT exemption, also going to be a rolling one?0

If its zero rated you don't pay and less than 3 years old a mot's not needed. The likely choices are tax it with whatever that involves or sorn it.Bedsit_Bob wrote: »If the car is pre-1973, you don't pay.

I wasn't talking about new cars.
On the contrary, I was talking about old cars (pre-1960), which are currently eligible for a free tax disc, as well as being exempt from the MOT.0 -
The whole process is the same, except you don't get a piece of round paper.Bedsit_Bob wrote: »I wasn't talking about new cars.

So, yes, you will still need to "tax" it once a year.0
