Thanks Spinney for asking this question.

I asked my wife the same only yesterday!!!

MOT - How old does the vehicle have to be to need one?

Almost sure that it is 3 years, so hopefully someone can confirm this

Four years, I think.

Once new every four years, then, every two years. 99.9% sure

[Bill]

That's how I understand it too.

4th anniversary after buying new then every two years.

I've got nearly three and a half years to go before mine needs a MOT so I'm not worrying yet

ROAD TAX is useless ! What is it used for ? Most of European countries stopped to rip off car owners that way...
Why do we have to throw that money ???????

Must be the Cypriot thing rubbing off on me .

Actually not showing off ~ in fact I'm quite the reverse ~ my friends have been criticising me for buying a Mazda when they know I can afford a Merc.

I'm afraid I don't subscribe to the "look at my house / car / clothes" ~~ see how wealthy I appear Cypriot way of life

To me a car is a car ~ nothing more than four wheels and a steering wheel and as I do not intend to buy another one before I pop my clogs ( die ) that's why I bought new ~~ it's going to last me out .

And I don't have to worry about MOT's plus servicing is free for five years

Now if I drove down the town or sea front wiyh a spoiler and big bore exhaust on my pick up ~ then you could say I was Cypriot
