If you intend to drive the vehicle to the test then you must ensure that it has current MOT [if applicable], registration plates, and that the person driving has sufficient insurance to cover them on the road. A vehicle excise duty license is not needed to drive to and from an appointment.
 
Great !! My local Vic test is 45 miles away and I've got no trailer or tower
Bollocks!!!
Looks like I'll be landy less for longer then!!!
 
go drive it then and get fukt!

Don't understand your harsh response.
I'm not suggesting I drive it. I was mearly responding to the order that was stated which intimated that I could MOT it before a VIC test which I believe to be incorrect. So I qouted and listed the order I believe it to be.

Please explain??????
 
I don't understand why your being so grumpy.
I got the information you gave me and am very grateful - really I am
I understand fully what the process is now thanks to you and blue beasty.
If I can help you in the future I'd love to be able to.
I have not insulted you - I have not dissed you or put you down.
Stenova listed what needs to be done in what seems to be the order of events which seemed incorrect as he was suggesting I can MOT it before the VIC test. So I tried to reply tactfully with the situation.
Did you take it personally and decide to swear at me. If you did then I apolagise for somehow making it personal to you.
I'm annoyed because I don't know what I've done to annoy you?
 
i mot'd a salvage car before a vic test about 3 years back

if the rules have changed you can still get round it.... book it in for an mot as close as you can to the vic test place you can drive to that with no mot ;)
 
Call and check directly with your local vic check Center, I MOT'D and then booked mine in for the VIC i was told it needed (booked VIC online). i then waited the 5 weeks for the test, went for the test and was told by the tester that it did not need a vic as it was the wrong class of vehicle (apparently commercials don't need VIC checks) he said the vic marker had been incorrectly requested by the insurance company. The tester arranged for the vic marker to be removed. The frustration was that as I hadn't got a VIC pass certificate I couldn't tax the Landy at my local DVLA office till I had applied and waited for the logbook to arrive... A further 6 weeks. I could have just applied for the logbook from day one!

Hope that saga helps

When the insurance company re-chassised my pride and joy, they said that it had to have a new MOT before giving it back to me.
