Its a very grey area, as when my car came up to 1 year old I was not sure if I would need and MOT or not. So I contacted DLVA who, after a long while said they didn't know and transferred me to VOSA, who after a long while said they didn't know, but could transfer me to DVLA.
So I went to the loacl nick and asked Plod behind the desk, who took me off to the traffic division. The Sgt. Plod said he didn't know, so he phoned DLVA, who said they didn't know ...... you get the picture
In the end I did nothing, the car re-taxed without the need for a MOT, and it wasn't until it was 3 years old did the reminder for the tax say explicitly that an MOT was required.
So the only one who seems to know the rules is the computer at DVLA, and its not telling anybody.
