    Being bored I have just bought and registered a car for my 16yo daughter and immediately sorned it.

    The issue that will be most concerning is you can not currently apply for a provisional at this time.

    That's bold. With potentially a year before they can start learning, what if it takes a while to pass? You could have a car sitting on your drive losing value and condition for 3+ years.

    She has the basics mastered (been driving since she was 12)  which makes a big difference when she starts learning with an instructor.  Car is Cat N and is currently awaiting repair an £8k car back on the road for a shade over £3k.  I would hope that we will be back up and running by December. Will probably insure it before then to ensure everything is tip top.
