Why is the year of manufacture important?
This is something many owners of imported motorcycles ask.
The year of manufacture can play an important role during the registration process.
It may affect the type of registration issued, eligibility for Historic Vehicle tax exemption and whether a motorcycle qualifies for MOT exemption.
This is why the DVLA may require evidence of a motorcycle's age when processing an application.
Establishing the correct year of manufacture can help ensure the motorcycle receives the appropriate registration and taxation status.
