DVLA Website error - Past MOT history missing for my Triumph

[carboy2017]

I took my Triumph Herald for its annual MOT yday (thought its MOT exempt) and when I saw the certificate it showed 30th Sept 2020 as the date of expiry which was wrong as the preceding MOT was valid till the 19th Oct 2019,hence took a quick look at the DVLA website and to my utter shock the MOT details form 2015-2018 is missing!

The last time I had a look at the DVLA site was last month and the records were uptodate then

I tried calling DVSA and after 20 mins of listening to automated announcements I had to hang up and will have to try again

Has anyone else had a similar issue and I hope I can rectify it

He wants an MOT even though it is exempt. I would suggest an annual service that comments on ‘MOT-type’ issues.

When did you declare the car as a VHI to make it MOT exempt?

That is of no importance. My car is now MOT exempt as a historic but the MOT history back to 2006 are still on the system.

Right - just thought there might have been a connection.
