Can I legally tow a car with not MoT
I am wanting to tow a car back to my house but currently has no MoT. Can I legally do this as I am insured to drive any other car on a traders policy?
Cheers
Dave

If towed car has a "driver" it must be mot'd
If car is being towed with a chariot or a frame is only needs to be safe and be on legal tread tyres as it is then classed as a trailer
of course Gross Train Weight comes into play as well !!

Still illegal, as ALL wheels on the trailer must be braked, and that includes the two car wheels on the ground.
Thats what I have been told anyway, can anyone confirm or deny it?
