Just found item 260626467515.

Having a read of the description it says...

no M.O.T, no tax

Yet goes on to say...

used daily

also, they have their reg number on show in the piccie, so anyone could report them to the DVLA. Lol...

Maybe it was used daily before the tax and mot ran out.

I would have took it to have meant exactly that.

There's nothing trivial about driving without mot and therefore insurance, It's likely it wouldn't have one because it won't pass and is UNSAFE. ( unless , as others mention,mot ran out after being driven for last time), So don' pretend it's petty to report this offence

two points...

Firstly, no MOT does NOT, I repeat NOT invalidate your insurance. This little piece of misinformation has been doing the rounds for some time. Its very very very rare that there is a condition in any insurance policy to state that.

Second point. Your MOT is a snapshot of the road worthiness of your car on the day it was tested. You can't state how likely it is to pass or fail from looking at a photograph.

Well I have just emailed the details of this listing to a friend of mine who is a policeman and he did not think it was a petty matter driving around with no MOT or road tax.
And just for the record driving without road tax or an MOT on a car is illegal and if you are driving illegally your car insurance is invalidated because of this it has nothing to do with the condition of the car.

What a loser! You do know that unless he is caught driving the vehicle, no crime has been committed? Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

I murdered someone yesterday BTW. Quick, better e-mail your copper mate and tell him!

But they will watch out for the seller driving the car now.
