Hi bbs,

As per the replies that you received from the guys above, if a vehicle is kept upon a public highway it is required by law to have a minimum of Third Party Insurance cover upon it.

Tax wise, from what we understand the Insurance cover will need to show that it is in force for 14 days or more.

The other option is to get the vehicle off the road and upon a sorn declaration, which if you're not going to use the vehicle seems to be the best option. (Although, if it's a valuable vehicle that you would worry about being damaged or stolen you may still wish to buy cover).

Kind regards & good luck with whatever you decide.

Tony

 

erm tax lasts till the end of a month so either you've got till the end of Nov or it's been sat there since the start of Nov with no tax.
