So, is it specified in your Insurance, go check.
And you know the inner workings of the DVLA ! :rotfl:
As far as Police & DVLA know, it could just be the previous owner trying to scam the new car owner.
:rotfl:
Things are starting to look complicated for the Police & DVLA.
Somehow I think they've got other things to do & will just tell previous owner it's up to him to sort it all out.
i dont think you understand ANPR,this is the type of thing traffic police are set up to find.i think they will pull you over,tell you that the vehicle isnt taxed (if the previous owner cashes in tax disc) your vehicle will then be towed away from the exact spot they stopped you,then you will have to get it taxed within 7 days or the car will be crushed,plus you will have to pay charges for the priveledge.
you still havent answered why you asked this question when you clearly think you already had the answer....work permit granted!0 -

John, you have a perfect case and you really should go ahead with this. Please do it and be sure to let us know how you get on.

I don't need to check, I know my insurance states Roadworthy and not requiring MOT or tax. But some do. I also know how much my car cost to tax, because I'm not some drain on society who scammed a few months out of the previous owner.
Yes, unfortunately I do know that they have a legal department, as I've been in correspondence with them before.
You'll tell the previous owner to do something? I'd tell you to get !!!!ed, it's his tax and up to him what he does with it.0 -
I keep seeing quotes ( that a vehicle that not taxed is not insured) this cannot be true, if you sorn your car and keep it on the drive or in your garage then it is still covered with the insurance you have paid
Yes that's because it's not on the road! SORN (Statuary OFF ROAD Notification). It's covered by your insurance.Laters

To see if anyone had been in this situation.
Perfectly sensible question to ask & legitimate situation to be in.0 -

on the tv this is when the police are nice,when the cameras arent there its a different story in the back of thier bmws.
but you arent taking on board anybodys opinion,so why ask for it? would you rather we all just agreed with you?...work permit granted!0 -

I just read your past threads, why do you continue to ask questions but not take any of the advice on board?
This website is of no use to you, try www.google.co.uk
Anyway, good luck with the refund, is it because the car is not insured and you are driving it on the 3rd party entitlement of your insuance?0 -
