Have I lost 9 years no claims?

I am just about to buy a car having not had one since 2015. I sold my previous car as I was living in London and found that I just wasn't using it. I have now moved out of London and once again need a car. When I had my previous car, I had accumulated 9 years of no claims with my insurance. Am I correct to assume that I cannot carry this over to a new policy and therefore have to start again from scratch i.e. 0 years of no claims?

    Yes, you've lost it.

    But ... I'd phone your previous insurer or a broker and see what they can do.

    Aviva gave me the equivalent of maximum no claims discount on a new policy when I bought a second car.

    Thanks - Didn't think of that, will give them a call.
