Taxing a car with no paper proof of MOT

[MarkM]

I’ve been told the car has an mot extension until June, no paper proof of that though but does say mot’d on the vehicle checker . Swansea is closed and Coleraine don’t want to know, can I just go to a post office with insurance and V5 and get tax or am I beaten?

Can I just blah it with printing out the above?

Tax it online with the new keeper slip??

Yes, if it's showing on their systems with a valid mot then you'll be able to tax it in the Post Office.

Thanks, wasn’t sure whether the post office would have access to the mot data base

Before all the extentions and covid I went to the mot centre about a replacement certificate as the car I bought didn't come with a certificate, they said it would be 4 weeks or so to get it and bascially printed the above off their website stating the car had mot, and said hopefully that will allow you to tax it in the post office, which it did, didn't even question it.

It must be 6 years now since actual certificates have been issued. Just walk into a post office with a V5 and insurance and ask the nice person behind the counter to tax the vehicle. Only time you need to provide evidence is the day the car passed MOT

What's the bit of paper you get when the car passes?

I liked the nice fancy looking certificate you used to get. The one now just looks like something some knocked up on word.

Usually a fail sheet if it’s a scaab.

A word document confirming you attended lol

You notice it now says something like notification of pass or something like that

Printed off the above, which they kept, and it’s taxed
