Its a bit harsh obviously but it is not your horsebox anymore.  You've sold it so basically it is a problem for the buyer (who admittedly may come after you for damages). 

 Are you 100% sure the buyer doesn't have insurance?  Driving without a MOT is fine if you are off to the garage but would be surprised if the buyer didn't insure the horsebox from the day they bought it.

Even if the buyer had insurance, it would have to have been "any driver" or the OP being a named driver on the policy for her to avoid the charge of driving whilst uninsured

What if the OP had permission to drive horseboxes owned by third parties on their own policy?
There is an amazing amount of inaccurate pontificating on this thread

Aren't you pontificating inaccurately?

So far as I'm aware there is no insurance policy that covers the policy holder for "driving other vehicles" unless that other vehicle is already insured under someone else's policy.  An uninsured vehicle is still an uninsured vehicle whether the driver has "other vehicle" cover or not.  The OP has told us it wasn't insured.

I'm staggered that the OP would have thought it ok to drive it to the test centre knowing it was uninsured.

[Edit:  "Driving other vehicles" cover also usually only applies to 3rd party losses so it wouldn't cover damage to the horsebox being driven by the OP]

Not at all 
 I never commented on the situation if the horsebox was uninsured by the purchaser

Note the word "Even"  in the original quote

"Even if the buyer had insurance, it would have to have been "any driver" or the OP being a named driver on the policy for her to avoid the charge of driving whilst uninsured"

This you will presumably agree is made up nonsense if the OP had the relevant third party cover for horseboxes
