A place in the UK where you never need to MOT your car ever!

Its true! There is a place in the UK where you legally never have to MOT your car EVER! Have a guess. Il post answer in a bit if nobody gets it.

ok here is the answer... Bloke I work with is from one of the Hebrides islands off western Scotland, cant remember which one but approx 1500 inhabitents. There are no MOT testing stations on the island so he tells me that cars have never required or are required to have one. As long as car is not taken off the island it does not need MOT. So I asked "there must be plenty of old bangers rolling around then?" but no, the harsh weather i.e. rust kills them ( before the wheels, brakes etc kills you I bet!)

Can anyone confirm this to be true? anywhere else like this?

Channel islands & Isle of man are in the UK but not in Great Britin BTW.

UK = United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.....

CI are in the commonwealth and crown dependencies governed by two independent bailiwicks
IoM is a crown dependency with its own parliament

but neither are part of the UK nor are they part of GB


but that's waay off topic

"........... However, the UK is also responsible, under international law, for some other areas, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The Queen is sovereign over these areas, but they are not part of the UK.........."

how right you are
