ive got a 1978 mini  still on log book as plg , on dvla site it says take v5 to post office with form v112 to declare its mot exempt ,they then send it to dvla  to be ammended , to historic tax free , cant i just send it off myself , as the local post office wont have a clue

when you next tax it, it should be auto exempt of tax and mot, I don't think you have to change it on the V5 for this to happen.

 Might be wise to treat this as a .......... "Yess SIR,  No SIR.  Three bags full SIR,  Any thing you say SIR............You know best SIR, Mr. DVLA"

I had this exact problem. Need to go online and print off the form send off with log book and they will change. (You will have to look through my last few posts to see exactly what form number it is) They will then rebate you any tax you paid. Do not waste your time going to the post office like the DVLA says i went to 3 and none helped or had the right paper work.

hi mot exemption is v112 which ive filled out , did you put a covering letter to have the taxation class altered to historic cheers

[smudger068]

I would put the three forms (MOT Exemption/ Tax Exemption/ V5) all together in an envelope and send that. If you feel you need a cover letter then you can but i just filled out the forms and put historic on my V5. Then they sent it back.

[Womak1992]

At mine they scanned something on the v5 and the system guided them through the rest. Maybe I just got lucky with who processed it. Good luck!
