know anyone in the north?
log it there and drive it home??

i found similar situation in oz where some states require yeary (nsw) roadworthys (MOT) whereas others never require (WA) it and some only when you sell it (QL)

if you live nr the border you pick and chose your prefered place to log it

because WA is so far from where we were, we had to get a QL van which ment a roadworth when we wanted to sell it and come home but they dont mind doing a bent roadworth just like us with our mot's

this is me in the van
