Car insurance NCB expiry?

Hi there,
I built up 3 years or so of no claims before I sold my car about a year and a half ago. The renewal date was early September, but I actually changed insurers and used the car for another 6 or so months after that before selling the car and cancelling the insurance.

I understand that NCB usually expires two years after the last document of proof you have (or something along those lines). So the question is is that two years from September when my last year of no claims ended, or is it from March when I cancelled the subsequent policy (if I can find the documents for it, it was swiftcover so I'm not sure I ever printed anything :doh:)

I am planning to get a new car soon, but I wasn't planning it to be in the next three weeks! Any help greatly appreciated!

    When you cancelled the swiftcover policy they should have sent you proof of NCB which would have been dated March so you should be OK until March next year
