Item 7. Vehicles exempt from MOT
Some vehicles don’t have to take an MOT test. These include:

tractors
goods vehicles powered by electricity
any vehicle less than 3 years old
cars and motorbikes made before 1960

above taken from government web site - link

thanks Adrian, i think i would need to book a yha or bb near to where the vehicle is and sort out the tax when the deal is done. the insurance is easy enough.
