Yes it's correct, there is a post about it on the forum headed MOT exemption in the Chat, off topic and diverse.

One story says MANUFACTURED before 1960, I assume that means anything made before 31st Dec 1959. Another report says LICENCED before 1960, I assume that means anything Registered before 31st Dec 1959. I wonder which it is?

Anyway, just my luck. Both my A10 and AJS were first registered in 1960, and declared manufactured in 1960.  *sad2*
