    Would you still be liable for VAT on a 2016 bike with less then the 6000km cut off point?

    Indeed but it stops demo and old stock vehicles being sold without VAT being collected. Revenue never miss a trick :rolleyes:

    It is what it is.

    Just ride the required number of miles (6000km = c.3750 miles before entering the state.)

    Had the same scenario with a 2010 bike. Only 2500 miles on it. Swapped clocks was only option.

    The mileage limit only applies on the day of your appointment so if you bring it in under the limit you still have a good while to clock up the miles

    Are the NCT centres busy now with covid?

    I would try and book an appointment as far away as possible to give yourself time to drive up the mileage
