I think so, judging by this snippet from the Ferret Owners Club Newsletter:
Quote:
The question about MOT "exemption" in the Newsletter is a bit complex because there are a number of different provisions that apply in different circumstances and different area Post Offices have different interpretations.

Firstly, the weight of actual vehicles varies between each other and varies from the specification. Secondly the driver is responsible if the vehicle is unroadworthy - this is true whether or not there is an MOT Certificate in existence. Thirdly, there is not really such a thing as an MOT Exemption - almost all wheeled vehicles aged three years or more require a certificate of roadworthiness. The only problem is that there is no official body that can issue them for vehicles over 3,500kg. The exceptions are oddities for example track layers, steamrollers, road menders etc. Finally, there is further confusion about road tax and driving licence applicability and this has somehow become confused in peoples minds with the MOT.
Hope this helps,
Hanno
