    If you knew someone personally you should have a word, but as above no tax/mot doesn't mean no insurance.

    Nope, a car must be roadworthy, it doesn't need a timed certificate to say that it is.
  • You could call your local police switchboard-am sure they would be happy to take details.

    It doesnt even need to be roadworthy


    Insurers are prohibited under Road Traffic Act 1988 section 148 (2) (b)from not paying out a third party claim due to the condition of the vehicle.
  • ok it has no insurance

    i wasnt sure if the no tax and MOT would invalidate it or not, but its irrelevant as the i know it is uninsured as well

    You can check online that the vehicle is insured (if you own/use it).
    HERE.

    Of course in this case as this is not your vehicle you shouldn't run it through the check ;)
