Two cars

[Purple_Popple]

Hello all, I am buying a used car tomorrow, but I already own another, I will need to transfer the current insurance over to the new one but I plan to sell my existing car. It is taxed until end august this year but shoul I sorn it? I cant afford to insure two cars at the moment. What will happen if the mot runs out? Without insurance I cant drive it to get it motd thanks all.

If it's not insured you need to SORN it and store it off road.

Oh and sell it before the MOT runs out, otherwise you'll need to insure it for a short time to get it to an MOT station (or tow it), or not MOT it and sell it with no MOT, but cars with no MOT are pretty much counted as scrap when it comes to selling them (unless it's something special)

You are probably not aware of the new insurance laws..............

Without insurance you could lose it and get a fine even if it's locked in your garage! You will have to declare it sorn.

Have a word with your insurance company. I recently bought another car and my insurers gave me 2 weeks free insurance on the old car until I sold it.
