I have sorned my other car and transferred the insurance to the coop. I now need to move it off the drive and put it a few miles away. What are my options guys......don't fancy taxing it for 6 months just to move it ? I suppose I could insure it for the day but not sure. Paul

Low loader / trailer - you need tax to insure and to drive on road. Oh and this thread is in the wrong section - will soon be moved!

You could insure it for the day (Greenlight do short term policies) then book an MOT. You have the right to take it to and from the garage then. You still need tax...does he say it has no MOT? I thought the wheels have to be off the road if no tax, so 'normal' towing not applicable? I can't believe the AA would tow a non broken down car anywhere other than a garage

Maybe it's different here or maybe I'm mistaken, but our Finace Minister (Sammy Wilson) was done for riding one of his motorbikes with no MOT. His defence was that he was taking it for MOT. And IIRC without an excemption certificate from the DVLA testing centre it was illegal and he was booked

As long as you are driving to a pre-booked MOT appointment then it's allowed.

You still cant put the car on the road without TAX mot or not. . . Sorry, I forgot I posted here. You can't tax a car without a valid MOT so YES, you can drive an untaxed car to and from a garage for a pre-booked MOT.
