The manager confirmed the MOT was carried out and passed but can't see the certificate on…

Excessive cancellation fee for Auto Aid Renewal that starts 3/1/25
I made a mistake last night renewing Auto Aid breakdown cover starting 3/1/25 paying £63.43 by credit card. They now charge an additional £10 for a spouse to be added which I decided to not accept because Spouse never drives without myself in the vehicle so we would be covered anyway.

New Car issues
Can anyone please advise on this. We purchased a new Peugeot 5008 on PCP last October and 48 hours later it broke down and had to be towed back to the garage. Long story short, it took Peugeot and the dealer 2 months to agree a new gearbox was needed. In hindsight we should have rejected the car but instead agreed to take…

Can someone explain NCD please.
I currently have 15 years NCD on our current family car. I am looking at buying a second car for which I've just looked into insurance. When it came to getting my quote it says "Your NCD can’t be used for more than one policy at a time", so for this second car does that mean i'll have to put in zero years NCD? If so, why…

Think I just got caught speeding
There was a mobile speed van ahead in a 30mph, I wasn't paying attention, it's a big wide road not in a built up area, I slowed down as soon as I saw it but I think it was too late, when I looked at my speedometer it was almost 40. I know they tend to have a leniency of 10% so won't set off until 33mph, my question is…

Car Insurance, Social, Domestic, Pleasure and Commuting
Hello all, I have for while now had a quiet word with new employees (unofficially) regarding using their own vehicles to "run little errands" for the company we work at.

Do you still need to send off paperwork to DVLA if sold or scrapped car?
Hi all. As the title states, do you still need to send part of the log book to the DVLA when scrapping or selling your vehicle? I've gone on the official .Gov website and it seems you can notify them via online instead. Unless I'm mistaken and that's only part of the process. Thanks.
