What about them?What about imports?
Jokes! I'm not sure, surely a letter from the manufacturer stating the year of build would suffice?

Would it cost more than an hours labour for someone to stick it on the rollers and go through the car to make sure it’s safe and not rotten.
Agree with @Coog , i had to get an engineers report for my engine change. Most of the quotes to look at the engine change alone were £200+. So id assume for a full car report it would be twice that!Not in my experience. It was more like 3hrs & £200 for inspection & report... and lots of sellers unwilling to foot the bill without financial commitment.
Id assumed that when they become MOT exempt through this they are also emissions exempt i.e. even if you did it voluntarily they wouldn't check emissions? The Mrs '71 Mini was in the 40yr tax exempt bracket and during MOT they didn't do emissions or headlight levels (sealed beam units).I was pleased to see that the official information makes it explicit that exempt vehicles can still be presented for testing on a voluntary basis. I'm fortunate that mine is old enough to have no emissions requirements (other than not emitting excessive visible smoke) but £30.50 for a check of brakes and suspension is well worth it.How the MOT scheme works
MOT test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. It is an offence to use a vehicle of MOT test age that doesn’t have a current test certificate on a public road.www.nidirect.gov.uk
I would think so as it would have shown not to be road worthyWhat happens if an exempt car fails? Does it have to pass again before you can use it again or can you still drive away anyway.
Tax exempt and MoT Exempt are totally separate. When a car is presented for MoT it's tested in line with the standards for its age (e.g. pre 1980 doesn't need a rear fog light).Id assumed that when they become MOT exempt through this they are also emissions exempt i.e. even if you did it voluntarily they wouldn't check emissions?

Yep, nothing to stop you failing a test then using the exemption form to get the car taxed later the same day. But if you're the type of person to plough on regardless you probably aren't going to go for the voluntary test anyway!Shouldn't be driven if it's not road worthy regardless of pass or fail. Can't see it needing a retest, just whatever is broken fixed properly.

Is tax free on classics here also?
Cheers sir, tried to tax a 79 land rover and the post office had literally no idea what to doRolling MOT exemption 40yrs from the date of manufacture
