Really sorry didn’t see this response it’s definitely worth me letting my insurance know to give me the best advice which I will be sorting out today! Thank you workpeter much appreciated

Im amazed too as I would of preferred to be pulled over and dealt with the matter that way instead I have been knocked off my bike and found out in the way that could affect my insurance claim aswel, with regarding the fine the police officer dealing with the accident said if I can prove I was sold 12 months MOT from a receipt then then would let me off as then could see I was genuinely unaware, this really isn’t a situation I wanted to be in but time can’t be turned back!

Just to add I also pay my tax monthly and receive no indication from the DVLA about MOT

Okay, Thank You so much for all comments as there’s so many certain points I’ll try respond to everyone in this... When the accident happend and I found out by the police I had no MOT I straight away contacted the garage where I purchased the bike from, they said they got my documents up and said the bike was sold with 3 months MOT so I’m assuming this is why I could of taxed the bike as I was told with MOT your unable to tax a vehicle, with the garage still saying I only had 3 months MOT when purchasing I still wasn’t satisfied as I was certain it was sold with 12 months, I later found all my documents indicating : 3 months warranty, safety check and 12 month MOT other than that I found out I was received no current/expired MOT certificatesat all just green slip from V5 and work carried out on the bike and proof of purchase, so as I was able to taxed the bike the last thing going through my mind was “check for MOT has 12 months and not 3” with me assuming it was already valid for 12 months with the purchase of proof I would of expected to take it for a retest the next year.

So unfortunately I was involved in a road accident which wasn’t my fault, later to find out by the police said my bike had no MOT! When purchasing my bike 7 months ago the proof of purchase included extras plus “12 months MOT”. It didn’t cross my mind to even look for a MOT Certificate because of the proof of purchase said it had a fresh ticket and with it being from a 5 star garage it didn’t cross my mind to think I would be in this situation. When contacting the garage they said it was my fault as it my responsibility to know when it is MOTd, even thou I had it in black and white saying what I’ve been sold? Really would hate to think an accident which was my fault could affect the outcome for something which I was totally unaware of - any help on this would be great as I’m dreading the worst anyway Just to add I didn’t get fined from the police all they wanted was proof of purchase to show I honest didn’t know, within 2 weeks which I provide within the next day.
