KM53 DVU Questions

When does KM53DVU require an MOT?

The MOT expires 30th October 2024. You can present the vehicle for an MOT test from the 1st October onwards and still keep 30th October as the expiry date following year.

How much is the road tax for KM53DVU?

The road tax for this diesel Volkswagen Beetle TDI is £180 per year, or £99 every six months.

Is KM53DVU exempt from ULEZ charges?

From 25 October 2021 the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding to create a zone bounded by the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205). KM53DVU is not ULEZ compliant, meaning that there is a daily charge if you drive within the ULEZ.

How do I check if KM53DVU is stolen?

Before buying a used car you can run a fully comprehensive HPI vehicle check. This check will let you know if the vehicle has been recorded as being stolen, an insurance write off, or if it has outstanding finance.
