VRT on this low-mileage motorcycle?

The question
Hello,
I have bought a motorcycle in the UK (registered on 5th October 2016). According to the VRT website - if the bike has less than 6,000km on it - VAT is payable. The bike has 4,000km on it. I work in England (Monday - Friday), but not at the moment with COVID-19 - and am working for home. The bike is still in the UK with the dealer (I have paid for it but not collected it).
Thanks

Hi Mark,
Actually, the rules on this are a little unclear, because the examples given by Revenue don’t relate to a bike as old as yours with as little mileage. I think the best thing to do is to get onto your local motor tax office and check with them before making any decisions.
