‘Vehicles over 8 years old, but less than 10 years old on the date of application can continue to be licensed provided that it passes two tests per year (the tests to be 6 months apart)’.

How would you all interpret this?


I interpret as saying if its 7 yrs old on renewal,it has one test a year, if it's 8 yrs old at renewal 2 tests a year? It's a stupid rule, it would make more sense that all vehicles have two tests, what ever the age?
After all a one year old vehicle could do say 120,000 miles in a year, and a 8 yr old might only do 20,000, ?

That is how I interpreted the wording. But the council are now saying that the words "on the date of application" are not in the condition, they were put in the conditions booklet in error.

Makes you wonder what else in their "Conditions Booklet" was wrong and what in their "Conditions Booklet" is Correct...In short the Booklet is nothing more than meaningless text based on neither fact nor fiction. Time they Issued a new one maybe. :-k

sorry to sidetrack but you guys have to put your cars off the road at 200k?

that's madness.


my nearly 6 month old Peugeot partner has covered 40k already and I know guys up here that crack 100k a year on their motors.

If they license a car for a year, then they license it for a year. End of.

If they choose to license it for a year providing the car passes a six monthly check, then that needs to be specifically stated in the yearly license.

have you asked to see the minutes of that meeting containing that wording I am thinking that you only have the LO's word that that is the wording

we have a similar thing with our new age rules the original novel containing all the proposals was worded similarly that the age at application was the relevant date but our LO is saying that a vehicle has to come off the road on the DAY it reaches 10 years of age
