Irish Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I had a bit of issues last year trying to prove my 1995 crossflow was exempt from the MOT emmissions. Does anyone know what evidence is required (other than that the car is the original engine?). Thanks. As you would expect my MOT is tomorrow, tax is up on Friday, insurance is due next week.......it never stops when you are trying to run four cars!

Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 28, 2012 Member Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think that this is the definitive guidance. There's quite a lot of discussion in the archives. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventh-heaven Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 V5C document should have a comment on the front page that says something like "kit built.......". Alternatively find a MOT centre used by other Caterham owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted August 28, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted August 28, 2012 Can you get it to Barnet? Caterham sympathetic/understanding MOT station there. G & M Read, Barnet Road. They understand the regulations (in my experience). BTW: Why not copy the relevant part of 7faq?

Drumster Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This is the flowchart you need: here My '93 car with it's new Zetec still falls under visual only as it's all to do with the age of the car not the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaterBram Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 a 1995 kit build caterham crossflow will be exempt, (see the note bottom right of the page Page 164 section 7.3 of the PDF referenced above. ) or if on a Q plate page 159 section 7.3 is exempt. but a 1995 factory built crossflow may not be exempt, have a look at the 7faq. one thing worth checking is the age of the engine as the MOT is based on the older. check the 7faq regarding VIN numbers to identify kit built. Of course you can always try the tack that it is a Kit Car and was used before 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks all. Running armed wiht lots of paperwork today. It is definitely KIT built and have all KIT receipts and and SDK VIN. Visual test only it is then. Fingers crossed it passes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
