When and how do I pay MTV?
In 2026 MTV is two equal instalments: 1–31 January and 1–31 July. You may pay the year in one go. Channels: gib.gov.tr, e-Devlet, bank apps, PTT, tax office. Late payment adds statutory interest. Unpaid MTV blocks inspection and notary transfer.
Are sub-100 cc and electric bikes exempt?
0–99 cc motorcycles are described as MTV-exempt on the published 2026 motorcycle tariff. 100 cc (the 100–250 band) pays. Read cm³ on the title. Electric bikes have no cc. kW is mapped onto petrol bands. 2026 explainers put electric MTV at 25 percent of the matching petrol band. GIB still binds. 50 cc insurance and inspection rules are separate from MTV.
How does notary transfer work?
Used sales happen at a notary. Typical papers: IDs, registration booklet, compulsory traffic insurance, no MTV debt, clean lien / seizure check. The notary stops if the system shows debt. Use a bank or the secure payment rail. 2026 legal summaries mention a sale-price proportional fee with a minimum. Service fees change by office and year. This article does not print a notary invoice. Ask the notary and GIB before you go.
- Match title cm³, VIN, and plate to the listing.
- Check MTV and fines on e-Devlet or GIB.
- Run a lien / seizure check.
- Plan traffic insurance for transfer day.
- Sign at the notary with IDs and the booklet.
- After the new title, put insurance in your name.
Add tax to the purchase price
A new 650 cc naked in years 1–3 sits near 2,200 TL/year in the 251–650 band (2026 example). A 125 scooter in 100–250, ages 1–3, is about 1,069 TL/year. That is a fixed cost besides oil. Agree who pays which instalment before the notary, not during the queue.
