    My car is two years old, and so doesn't need an MOT. How can I legally drive it untaxed?
    First SORN it to remove the tax (miss this step out if it isn't taxed)
    Then book an MOT (you can get one at any age of car)
    Drive it to and from the MOT untaxed.

    you can always drive it untaxed off the public roads on land that you own, or have the landowners permission to drive on.





    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Be careful - insurers often ask if you're the registered keeper.  If they do, you need to answer honestly.



    The registered keeper may not be the legal owner...
