Andy do they not take it from date of build rather than date of registration ?

The reg number has no impact on the tax exempt status of the car - that plate could be transferred to a brand new car tomorrow.

If the car was first registered before 1973 (I think) it is tax exempt, anything younger isn't. Thank the Labour party - when they came to power they changed it from 25 years old to this fixed date
