Thinking of buying a new car it's got MOT I can arrange insurance cover on it but what do I do about the tax. I'd like to drive it back rather than trailer it ? Any help appreciated  ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

If it has the MOT and you've got insurance then buy the car and find the nearest post office to where you are buying and go and purchase the tax there. Then drive it home. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

The log book still has to be filled out and sent off ect, there should be a reference number I think on the buyers slip that you get asked for when you tax it online. I do wounder about these new tax rules. Let's say you go and buy a car that is taxed mot'ed ect as the owner has been driving it. You buy the car and the owner has to send the log book off to the dvla to register the new keeper ect. This process can take up to 5 days before the dvla know that the vehicle has changed owner which technically means it's still taxed until the dvla recieve the log book. Not sure if that makes sense or not but I can't figure it out....  |

I'm no expert but surely the claims company would run a check on when you purchased the car and be able to work out that you hadn't taxed it in your name? For the sake of 20 quid on a wasted months tax you might as well just bite the bullet, IMO anyway ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13  Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |

You are insured if you have paid your insurance the insurance company are still obligated to pay on your policy the not having road tax offence is civil not criminal not having mot WILL invalidate any insurance as you cannot prove your vehicle fit for use however if it is stated within your policy that they wont or that will only pay at a reduced without tax then that's what you get this is a terms and policy situation I do agree however you should always tax mot and insure your car at all times at certain times when there is an issue where you cannot pay tax straight away e.g taking to mot or first purchase make sure you pay before months end, in my opinion people who dont pay tax and insurance should find ill favour from all that pay Rant complete ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

Actually legally the lack of MOT, whilst unlawful, isn't unlawful to the extent it can invalidate insurance. So if u have insurance and tax and have just forgotten to get your test done (easily done as I have before as there's no reminder is there!) you'll simply get a fine for being out of test. Not a fine for having no insurance etc. this is a fact because *cough* a friend *cough* got caught 2 days out of test and it was a fine, either £30 or £60 I can't remember. ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |
