taxing a gator

[farmerste]

Have had a gator for 4 years now which was taxed by the jd dealer as limited use, never had a problem taxing it on the dvla website until today. Website is now saying that the vehicle can't be taxed as it doesnt have a valid MOT, has anybody else had this problem and have dvla changed the taxation rules for limited use vehicles? Would it be better taxed as an agricultural vehicle maybe?

I believe the rules have changed and limited use vehicles now require an MoT. (along with lots of other vehicles that didn't such as recovery wagons and mobile cranes).

Much better taxed as Ag. You have a far larger legal distance you can run on the road. Had my quad ag registered for that reason.

I'm not sure I'm afraid, as I've only done it from new. My experience of DVLA staff however is they are helpful and knowledgeable if you give them a ring.

You have to go into the post office and fill out a declaration form stating why it is limited use and sign it. They then tax it for you foc
