Not sure how it can be untaxed since 1990 and yet still have an MOT, think the DVLA have a problem with older vehicles and MOT's.

I had checked these sites a few times in the past and the untaxed since 1990 is all I got, no mot and no insurance, but all of a sudden it comes up with insurance and a fresh mot just a few weeks ago, it looks like someone has resurrected the bike and is in the process of getting it back on the road and of course would have to get the bike mot'd and insured before taxing it. Not sure if will be exempt as first Reg date is June 1972. Billy.

Not sure if I got the web site info from the road holder or this site but I checked my bikes out on the vehicle mot history site www check-mot.service.gov.uk/ it was interesting to look back how many miles and what info they were holding for the bikes I own and unfortunately how little I used some of them over the years,

checking out your reg it shows it was tested at the mot station 168119165022 and wondered how long before the info to locate a mot station and area was available by some bright spark, all interesting or worrying depending on your views of George Orwell.

Yes,interesting comment, I used a similar site to check mot history but wonder about the accuracy of some things, one site gave the date of original registration as June 1972,which is correct and another gave it as January 1973 which is wrong also it is listed as an 850 when it was a 750, but it could of had a new engine fitted. I put the mot station number into the internet but found nothing so we might be OK on that score. Billy.
