I own two exempt vehicles and I would have no hesitation in putting them in for m.o.t tomorrow if I had to. It’s all about your safety one the road and those around you.

I am paid the same to fix old cars as newer ones and yes some are “worth” over £100,000 down to not a lot !I see the “old” car as a good thing for the repair trade with or without mot cars must be road legal if used on the road .
