I've noticed on the dvla site they now include the name of the MOT garage of the vehicle, but I've noticed on many occasions incorrect info on some cars. Plenty of classics I saw over the past few months at a local meet, yet according to data on the dvla some haven't had an MOT for at least a few years, or stating they're not taxed (surely someone's incorrectly entered the wrong info?). Looked up a TR6 I'd seen only for it to say TR7 on the dvla history.

Pre-60? If so, hasn't needed an MOT since 2012.

Or maybe somebody's misinterpreted free VED to mean "don't need to tax"...?

https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ doesn't tell you the model.

Probably a cock up in data input unless the cars didn't require a MOT due to their age.
