I have just bought my wife a mobilty scooter from Millercare. There was a DVLA form in it to register it. I rang them up to enquire about the road tax for it and they explained that if it only goes at a maximum speed of 6 miles and hour (which my wife's does) it does not need taxing. All scooters which can exceed 4mph must have a switch so that it can be set so it will not exceed 4mph. They must not go on the road if they will not exceed 4mph and not to exceed 4 mph on the footpath.
If a scooter can do 8mph they must be taxed, daft bit is the tax is free and you don't need an disabled exemption certificate, what ever that is. They will give you a registration number but plates do not need to be fitted.
