Now the law has changed on insurance and taxed vehicals, so that, any vehical that is taxed, must also be insured. (yeh it is a bit strange and awkard if your selling a car) and we run a risk of getting a fine for it, it's worth checking to make sure your car is on the MID and it's free. www.askmid.com/also usefull for checking on other drivers... but you need to pay for that. |

I've also read in Classic Car Weekly that you will (soon) no longer have to produce your insurance certificate to the Post Office if you go there to tax your vehicle as all info will be on the database that they will check. I presume, however, that you can still do so; particularly as the MID will not always be updated straight away or, as a Trader, you may have a blanket policy in force.

As a trader I have direct access to MID and can add and remove vehicles at my leisure and they show up within a few seconds.

(yeh it is a bit strange and awkard if your selling a car) I suppose that a way around this requirement, when selling a car, would be to insure the car at the time of advertising and then cancel the insurance before 14 days have elapsed (cooling off period) for which a small fee is charged by the Insurers. Hopefully you'd sell it within the 14 days or go on to declare SORN? My son's Punto had just been insured when it blew it's head gasket. We cancelled the insurance within the 14 days and paid a nominal £10 fee and then declared SORN. Leigh (Area rep) |
