I had a cat C on my car and needed to tax it, obviously when you write off your car you don’t receive the reminder document so you have to go to the post office to get it (who’ve now been advised by the DVLA to not sell tax discs to cars that have been written off...)
I also had a gti to xud conversion on the car and hadn’t declared in on the V5 as I was waiting to get the VIC test... it was all a massive pita as it all was happening at once. But, by the powers of unicorns I got it all sorted so easily and wondered why I was stressing about it.
I managed to get it MOT’d no issue with a cat C and the engine change, you just need to find a garage that is happy with doing it.
I would suggest giving the DVLA a call and see what they suggest you do if you've got any concerns with anything.
Also, like people are saying; VIC test sounds scary but they really aren’t as long as you haven’t messed about with the chassis!
