Unpaid Road Tax and expired MOT's

The request was refused by Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,

Any unpaid Road Tax or expired MOT is automatically displayed on the DVLA website the day after it was due to be renewed

My request is
1) how soon do you start to take action against the offender for recovery of the unpaid road tax and what action do you take and what is the timescale involved
2) You have no powers of enforcement for the MOT's that have expired, that is a Police matter but do you automatically advise the Police of the expired MOT and if so how soon after it has expired do you notify them?

Yours faithfully,
Hugo O'Brien
