Bike MOT on Sunday
- Thread starter mondo
- Start date
Get it done when you come back - you don't need it abroad...
I rather think you do need it, the vehicle needs to be legal in its home country and the insurer might have a get out of jail
Jail card if the bike is involved in an accident.

I rather think you're wrong
Some insurance policies specifically state the insured vehicle must have an MOT for the insurance to be valid.
Seems ludicrous to me, but that is what they say.

Whilst abroad your vehicle must be compliant with the rules and regulations of the country in which it is registered. This means that you cannot allow your tax and MOT to expire.
But i'm prepared to bare my arse in sainsbury's if you can prove me wrong.

Consequences of driving without an MOT
Driving without a valid MOT certificate is an offence under Section 47 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, and, although conviction for this offence will not result in penalty points being placed on a driving licence, it carries a maximum fine of £1000. What's more, driving without a valid MOT certificate automatically invalidates the insurance policy and should a driver be involved in an accident, they themselves would have to foot the bill for the damages.
Just Google it and all will be revealed..

However not having a valid mot does not mean that your machine is not insured Otherwise how would you get to the mot place in the first instance
So just book an mot for the day you get back to blighty at the nearest place to home
Job's a fish

Not correct if you going to an MOT station for a pre booked MOT test or a VOSA depot for a VIC in case of a CAT C vehicle
More effort required sir

So, you reckon France, Germany etc, have specific regulations making it an offence for a UK vehicle to be used without a current MoT?
Think about it - no German registered bike would be reported here for an out of date TuV (or whatever they have). The MoT only becomes an issue when on UK soil. There is NO requirement for a VEL - only required when using a UK registered vehicle on a public road (happy for you to Google that yourself for the fine print)...
The only docs you need are
Valid full (not provisional) driving licence
Driving licence paper counterpart - if you have a photocard licence
An International Driving Permit (when necessary)
Vehicle registration document (V5c) - the original not a copy
Motor insurance certificate
Passport(s).
