Should I report this?

[pasithea]

My neighbour works as a taxi driver - I just checked his car on the mot tracker to find it’s 2 years since he had an mot, although the car shows as taxed I don’t understand how this can be since to get tax you need a current mot?

[northwestrecovery]

Private hire mot is different to normal mot ,you can get both at the same time if you pay extra or just get taxi mot .

[bobtail4x4]

Taxis dont have a normal MOT. they are checked twice a year to a higher stanrd.

You waited 20 months to post this, jeez, get back to the curtain twitching quick.

[pasithea]

Thanks for the replies - would a current mot (even for private hire) still show on the online site?

Why are you checking your neighbours car ?

They are looking for moderators on the "dodgy numberplates" forum too.

Yeah, right.

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Your thread title is "Should I Report This ?"

It's a neighbour dispute. Obviously.

[Monkeylegend]

Some councils do independent annual testing but the car still requires a valid MOT.

Some councils test twice a year, some accept a valid MOT. There is no countrywide standard, it depends whereabouts you are.

Did you check MID while you were at it?

[hotchy]

Go on, I want to hear why your after him. Love a good neibhour dispute story, and we have lacked one on here for ages.

[pasithea]

Er what’s MID?
I’m not after him and perhaps I should have used a different title like “how come no mot?” So if he has a council
Mot should it still show up on the mot checker?

[Monkeylegend]

askMid, motor insurance database.

[KungFuPanda]

OP, if I PM you lots of vehicle registration numbers, perhaps you could surreptitiously search them on the MOT database for your own satisfaction. Some of them may not even have MOTs. You could even imagine that you've seen them parked in dangerous spots around your locale.

...in which case you "may be committing an offence of unlawfully obtaining data contrary to section 55 of the Data Protection Act 1998".

Yes, but that doesn't stop people from doing it
