They inform me that I should complain to the Post Office for them allowing me to tax my vehicle which they say they will cancel yet have still taken payment.
They kept trying to tell me that I don't qualify for tax exemption. I know that and have not claimed that but they keep deflecting me to that. They now want me to provide evidence of the manufacture date and that I should also fill in V112.
Somewhat peeved.

The post office can help with sending your log book away then the car will have free road tax (you still need to apply for free road tax each year) and you don't need a yearly MOT. I believe you can write to VW and get a build certificate with the date of manufacture on it but it will cost you. Not sure how you go about doing this?

I can only reiterate the previous responses, and highlight that due your vehicle does not qualify for Historic Tax until April 2022. As this vehicle is not recorded as being 40 years old yet, you would be unable to claim the MOT exemption. Any further queries regarding the MOT should be directed to DVSA, as they handle MOT systems, whereas DVLA deal with the tax side.
We currently have the date of manufacture for your vehicle as 31-12-1981. The reason for this is when the vehicle was initially registered, the DVLA was not supplied with enough evidence for the specific date the vehicle was manufactured. Due to this, we have only been able to provide the date of manufacture at the last day in that year.
To have this date investigated, you would need to supply the DVLA with additional evidence of the exact date of manufacture if you would like the vehicle record to be more specific.
Acceptable dating evidence can be obtained from:
- an extract from the manufacturer/factory record - these will have the chassis number of the vehicle against the month and year of production*
- an extract from the 'Glasses guide' - which is a comprehensive guide on production dates and includes chassis numbers.
- a dating letter that is accompanied by an extract from or references the "Trader Handbook"* An extract from the Trader handbook alone is not acceptable.
*A certified copy of the factory record (with the embedded stamp) will be acceptable only from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT).
If you can obtain the qualifying evidence,
you will need to produce dating evidence and submit the application to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BF.
The following documentation will need to be submitted:
- V5C Registration Certificate
- V62 Application for a registration certificate if you are not in possession of the V5C* (You will need the VIN/Chassis Number to complete the application)
- V10 Tax Application form
- valid MOT Certificate (if applicable) or V112 'Exemption from MOT testing' form
- Dating evidence
*Please note that there is a £25 charge if a V62 is completed. This will need to be included by cheque or postal order.
You should write 'Historic' in the change to taxation class field in section (*) of the V5C.
Paper applications are likely to take between 6-10 weeks to process, however there may be additional delays in processing more complex transactions.
You can now check the earliest dates our departments are currently working and for any updates on our services here: DVLA services update - GOV.UK.
I trust this is of assistance to you.

The DVLA operate the Vehicle Check service, so you will need to contact them for advice on the information displayed on it.

Must be worth another letter to the dvla with a scan of your V5C.
I wouldn’t worry quite so much about the MoT as it’ll be January before the paperwork gets done…

The rolling 40 year exemption is not black and white.
TAX exemption is gained the year after so again not black and white.
A much simpler system would be that they are both TAX and MoT exempt at 40……
Please also see form V112 section r

Perhaps tax exemption statement should be read in the following manner,
"VED exemption is attained on April 1 following it's 40th anniversary"
Despite most readings saying that a car is MOT exempt at 40 it may have to be proven as set out in one of my other posts above from the DVLA reply.
