Historic (classic) vehicles: MOT and vehicle tax

Skip contents

Renewing your historic vehicle's vehicle tax

DVLA will send you a vehicle tax reminder letter before your tax is due to expire. You’ll need to tax your vehicle, but will not need to pay.

It’s illegal to drive your vehicle if you have not taxed it. You can be fined £80 if you do not tax your vehicle on time.
