Legal thing - Retro-Renault

how do you stand legally when taking a car for its MoT when its been off the road for a while, No Tax, and insurance wise, bearing in mind it might not actually pass? maybe i should ask the old bill.............

ring the mot place first. They will (should) cover you for having no tax to drive to and from the test station. But insurance is up to you. If you havent got it, you're not legally allowed to drive it.

You are allowed to take it for an MOT aslong as its booked in at the garage. You must have insurance though!

**bidderman1969** · 9th December 2006, 04:32 PM

how fars the mot station?

**bidderman1969** · 9th December 2006, 08:36 PM

about 8 miles is the one i wanna go to, think he may be slightly lenient of minor things, also gives it a fair run before being tested

**Chris H** · 10th December 2006, 01:04 AM

risk it then*

*I accept no responsibility for your actions and blah blah anyone that says thats out of order etc can go fuck themselves, thats my personal opinion which doesn't reflect the opinion of the rest of the admin team, retro-renault or anyone else.

The day insure thing is only a tenner a day. Best to be legit in my opinion.

**Chris H** · 10th December 2006, 01:38 PM

if its a tenner than go for that. If its 60 quid or summat I'd risk it.

That just shows how bent this country is; in that a company will insure a car regardless of it's roadworthiness.

Also needing insurance to tax a vehicle, what a load of bollocks.
