    Are you sure your NBC is protected, usually 2 years are deducted in the event of a claim, which would tally up with what you posted.

    The best way to find out is call your insurer, ask them to explain. This way you will have a definite answer to get quotes with.

    Your current insurer obviously gives the maximum available discount when 6 years is reached. Anything over that - 7 years, 8 years, 20 years - will not give any extra discount. That is why your documents from the last couple of years show 6 years.

    Just call your current insurer and ask them how many years you came to them with and how many years you have accumulated in total.
