    Too low a mileage would be the first one that leaps out as that can be an issue showing not enough driving.
    So if i drive 100 miles a month im more of a risk than if i did 1000 a week?

    that sounds like insurance company thinking....

    i starting to think day insurance when in use may be cheaper than an annual policy, SORN it the rest of the time
    So tax, then sorn, Remember you only get full months refunded.

  • Try Bymiles.
    You pay for the car to be parked, then a per mile charge.
    Like a mobile contract at the end of the month.
    Via a black box you attach to the obd2 port.
    Standard insurance for me is £1100 ish if not more.
    Bymiles was £105 parked and 9.5p a mile.
