fastbob Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Ok so I got my bike MOT 'd today and I've just tried to tax it online but it all went a bit wrong . I followed the whole process right to the end where it offered the option to print a statement or click Finish . So I clicked Finish and it went to THIS SITE CANNOT BE REACHED. So I went to Gov.uk Vehicle check and discovered that I'm still on SORN and , more worryingly , the MOT is still expired . Any advice or suggestions because at the moment I'm wondering where my £51 has gone . I don't do online banking so I can't check . Quote
Six30 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 mot will probably show tomorrow if you do an online check, dont know what happened with your tax. Quote

Yeah I get that but I don't like not knowing whether I've paid or not . If I'm not showing an MOT I shouldn't have been able to complete the tax payment should I ? You would think it would have told me so rather than going to Site cannot be reached on the very last click . Quote
Guest Swagman Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Probably just busy with staff shortages during this virus outbreak. Quote
fastbob Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 Probably just busy with staff shortages during this virus outbreak. I assume it's an automated process . Quote
Guest Swagman Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 You would think so but not sure, as if it is all automatic why is there sometimes a delay before it shows up. Quote
raesewell Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Just wait a few days, also check to see if and when the money leaves you bank account. Quote
fastbob Posted April 8, 2020 Author Posted April 8, 2020 Happy days ! All gone through now . I guess that DVLA is running on reduced staffing levels but I'm still a bit surprised that the process isn't fully automated . Quote
