How much is the penalty for 5 years late registration of motorcycles?

How much is the penalty for 5 years late registration of motorcycles?

UPDATED December, 2020

Got late in your motorcycle registration renewal?

Driving an unregistered motor vehicle carries with it a fine of P3,000 if apprehended by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) officers and P10,000 if by LTO traffic personnel. Worse, if the non-registration exceeded one month, the vehicle will be impounded and released only once the vehicle has been registered and the corresponding fines and penalties have been paid.

To help you prepare for your visit at the LTO, here's a brief guide on how much money you're going to spend on your motorcycle registration renewal.

LTO penalty formula by weeks

So, if you were late in renewing your motorcycle registration, the LTO will be imposing a penalty of a weekly fine of P100.  When you’re delayed for your payment in a month but not more than 12 months, you will be charged an additional fine of P120, which is 50% of the motor vehicle user charge (MVUC).

The MVUC for the different types of motor vehicles are as follows:
Cars (lightweight, sedans up to 1600 kg) P1,600
MPVs (Toyota Avanza, Suzuki Ertiga, Honda Mobilio/ up to 2700 kg) P2,000
SUVs (up to 2700 kg) P2,300
Motorcycles without sidecar P240
Motorcycles with sidecar P300

Now, for the tough part. If you exceeded 12 months of non-registration, let's say in 5 years, how much exactly will you have to pay to get your motorcycle registration renewed?


Sample computation (if 5 years late)

Basing on the above penalty formula, see below:

Sample Only:
Emission Test              P450
TPL Insurance             P650
Cost of Registration    P600+
Penalty (P120 x 5)      P600
________________________
Total                           P2,300+

The actual cost can go a bit lower or a bit higher depending on where you took your emission test and your TPL insurance, but I can assure you that the figures you see above is about 98% correct.

Now when you're motorcycle registration is 2 or 3 years late, we can safely assume that the cost is much lower than P2,300.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
