Form V112 Declaration of Exemption From Mot - United Kingdom

How to Fill In V112 Form?

The MoT test must be performed on vehicles annually to confirm they are safe to use and to certify the level of exhaust emissions required by current laws and regulations does not exceed the acceptable limitations - each vehicle must comply with safety regulations and environmental standards. Generally, the vehicle is tested when three years have passed since the registration or when the last MoT test took place three years ago. However, certain vehicles can avoid this test as long as they are included in the list of exempt vehicles - for instance, registered owners of unusual categories of vehicles such as trams, hackney carriages, and motor tractors can use the declaration to verify MoT testing exemption.

Here is how to prepare Form V112:

1. Carefully read the second page of the document to make sure your vehicle belongs to one of the categories listed there. If you cannot find an appropriate category, it means you cannot file for an exemption. Additionally, if your vehicle has not undergone any serious modifications in the last thirty years, ensure it can be accepted as a vehicle without any substantial changes.
2. In case your vehicle can only be used on certain islands and cannot be driven in other parts of the United Kingdom, write down the name of the island in the appropriate box.
3. Provide the vehicle's registration number. Indicate your full name.
4. Confirm the vehicle identified in the form is exempt. Record the category you have chosen on the second page. If you have purchased a new engine for your vehicle, it means there was a considerable change, and the vehicle cannot be exempt from testing. However, if you replaced the bodyshell with another one of the original patterns, it means the vehicle remained the same and it qualifies for exemption.
5. Sign the document. Your signature confirms the statements in the declaration are true and complete.

Once the form is completed, keep it in your records until you go to the Post Office - file your tax documentation with the declaration. You cannot mail this document to the DVLA. Draft a new version of the declaration every year to ensure the information in it is up to date.
