Changing Plates & MOT

I am buying a car that has a private plate that is being transferred by the previous owner. All the documentation has been sent off to DVLA, log book, tax disc etc, and i am waiting for DVLA to give the car its new reg.

My question is, what happens to the MOT, obviously its the same car, but not the same reg, so for taxing the car in a few months, the MOT certificate isnt going to match the car?

Anybody??

they will stamp the mot (dvla)

this is what happened to mine when i bought it - i then had to go to a dvla office to tax the car cos they couldnt do it at the local post office cos it was stamped

try the dvla website for your nearest office - mine was in cardiff which is the nearest major city

hope this helps

you should have gone into the local dvla office. its much faster than sending it all off. they do it for you there and then, then about 1 week later you get your new V5 and everything.

they will stamp the MOT in the office...

when i put new plates on mine the dvla office printed me out new mot with new number on, now they are new style the just print off a new one.

Great - DVLA were sent the paperwork last Monday. Havent had anything back yet! Def. would've been quicker just going in.

Thanks guys, once again.
