I'd assume that as long as it passes the VIC check, that means its identity is ok, meaning the MOT is for that car - its still in date so will still be valid imo. I'd give the DVLA/VOSA a quick bell to clarify though.

Some insurance companies ask for it to be re-mot'ed but its not the law by any stretch of the imagination.
I've taxed cat c cars using their original mot's and without them being VIC checked as well with no issues whatsoever.

Incorrect,car does not require a new mot.

Also just because a car is cat c,it does not always require a VIC check,no commercial vehicle requires a VIC check its a VEHICLE IDENTITY CHECK and the condition of the car or quality of the repair is NOT checked thourougly.

A number of people have been corrected about this myth before on this very website.
