first MOT

[mrmarcus]

Can somone confirm that a vehicle needs its first MOT 3 years from the "date of first registration" date as shown in the logbook.

So even if a car was pre registered by a dealer in 2007, but only actually first sold in 2010 with 0 miles on the clock, that it would need a MOT straight away even though it is new.

3 years from date of 1st registration.

But it is not new just because it was sold on in 2010, it is three years old.

So yes, MOT due three years from Date of Registration.
