FORM V11

TO TAX A VEHICLE

Cars over 3 years old need a valid MOT certificate
By law, all drivers must be covered by motor insurance

Try not to confuse people

I was actually annoyed with myself , my own (normal) bike insurance co for multibikes would not insure on a chassis number , so I had to go to another multibike Co , who charged me considerably more


then the DVLA told me no insurance was needed


I could have got it registered , with ved and a new reg issued then just phoned my old company up and added it on

form v11 is out of date , it still tells you that a tax disk will be posted to you!


ring the DVLA , or go into a PO , its only NI that insurance docs need to be shown

First no more discs in the windscreen and now for the first time in 40 years you won't have to hunt down an insurance certificate to buy your car tax either

no you do not need valid insurance !!

I have just gone thru this palaver with the DVLA!

I had no access to a printer when filling in the v55 for that bike , so I rang the DVLA to ask if they would accept a ref number

as of some time ago , you do not need valid insurance to tax a bike/car

don't believe me , ask your local post office.

in the words of the DVLA , we use the police to sort this out , heavy fines and crushing etc

To be honest I don't know what you are talking about, maybe an import but nothing whatsoever to do wth the OP.

Are you saying you don't need insurance or road tax to drive on UK roads with that bike or ... if caught the police will seize the bike for no tax or insurance ? best not ride it on the public highway

ok step back,


driving a car in the UK without an MOT does not invalidate your insurance


no one in England/wales or Scotland has to show there insurance doccis when taxing a car/bike


any vehicle that is imported , or even ex army and needs to be registered with the DVLA can be driven without a mot and with no numberplates when going for its first MOT


BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE INSURANCE!!!




back to page one , having no MOT does not invalidate your insurance

Of course V11 is out of date and that includes the charges.

BUT.... YOU MISSED OUT ...
"Insurance now automatically checked against central database"

So be it online or at a PO, NO VALID INSURANCE, NO TAX

"DVLA’s records are compared regularly with the Motor Insurance Database (MID) to identify registered keepers of vehicles that have no insurance.

That is referring to the continuous insurance enforcement checks that go on all the time now.


You will get caught out with no insurance via CIE, but don't need a certificate to buy your tax.
