Selling my car - are test drives insured?
I intend to sell my car privately, and it occurred to me that any prospective buyers wanting to test drive the car would need to be insured. Question is on whose insurance? They wouldn't be on my policy, so does that mean my policy would have no cover for this scenario? Their policy would not include my car, so similar…

Moneybarn voluntary termination
I’m considering voluntary termination on a vehicle financed via moneybarn. It’s more than 50% paid off, my main concern is whether they like to over scrutinise condition in order to ask for further payments?
