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.
