Anyone who buys a new car does not have to pay attention to the chapter ‘MOT’ for years. Only when a passenger car with a petrol or electric engine is four years old, you have to have it inspected for the first time. This applies not only to traditional passenger cars, but also to flying cars such as the Pal-V Liberty. This is now the first time that a flying car has been given an MOT. Although, car … The Pal-V Liberty is not actually a car, because it is registered as a three-wheeler (L5e-A). But three-wheelers must also undergo their first MOT after four years. The ‘flying car’ in question was registered in the Netherlands on 24 September 2020 and now has a fresh MOT that does not expire until 24 September 2026. That’s right: not for another two years. After the first MOT, passenger cars and three-wheelers with a petrol or electric engine must be inspected every two years until they are eight years old. Different rules apply to diesels. They must be in for their first MOT when they are three years old and then every year. The Pal-V Liberty is a Dutch creation that can be described as a combination of a three-wheeler and a gyrocopter. The impressive appearance, even with the rotor blades folded in, can reach a speed of up to 160 km/h on the asphalt. The Liberty – which has two Rotax 912 iS engines on board – delivers up to 100 hp on the asphalt and unleashes 200 hp in flight mode. You should be able to fly up to 500 kilometers with it. As a Sport Edition, the colossus is expected to cost €299,000 excluding local taxes. For the Pioneer Edition, limited to 90 units, Pak-V expects a starting price of €499,000. That is also excluding local taxes.
