<p>The Government has no plans to provide specific guidance on scrappage of vehicles
of historical interest. Legislation will introduce a 40 year rolling exemption from
MOT testing for these vehicles, providing they have not been substantially altered.</p><p>
</p><p>Officials are working, including with advice from the Federation of British
Historic Vehicle Clubs, to finalise draft guidance on how to identify whether a vehicle
has been substantially altered and this will be published before the legislation comes
into force in May 2018. We have not so far seen significant evidence of scrappage
discount schemes encouraging the scrappage of valuable older vehicles.</p>
