Recovery trucks are they mot exempt

MOT exempt Recovery trucks there is a lot of confusion and false advertising do you really want one and is the truck you are looking at really mot exempt?
I have a lot of experience in building commercial and plant bodies and the MOT exempt rule is regally brought up in conversation yes there are vehicles on the road that are mot exempt but I do not see the why any one would really benefit from this.
What makes a vehicle MOT exempt.


MOT exempt is a rule for plant vehicles only.

The vehicle must have a gross weight of over 3.5 tonnes (3500kg)

The vehicle must only be used for the purpose it was designed
Plant vehicles (what are they)
A plant vehicle is basically a peice of machinery on wheels it is made to do a job and has wheels to get to the job. The main vehicles that come under this class are farm machinery and cranes.
