The estate (1.9TDi automatic) is registered in my name, I hold a full UK licence and we also have a Polo (1.1 petrol automatic) that currently has no MOT, no insurance and has been SORT off road but is registered in my wife's name - she has yet to pass her test. It was bought for her to learn in.
Just started a new job, bit of a drive and the estate is a bit heavy on fuel. If I was to put the Polo throgh an MOT and tax it, how can I legally and cheaply insure it so I can drive it to work instead of the estate?
Just want to save as much money as possible and thought of getting the Polo on the road as it's such a smaller engine. I already drive with a fuel saving conscience mind and am not heavy on the pedal or braking and stick to 60mph.
Just phone an insurance company and get it insured - that's how you normally insure cars. i thought all cars had to have insurance these days regardless of their SORN status
Anyone can insure a car - I spent years with 'my' car being insured by my wife and 'hers' being insured by me - just the way it worked out.
It's also perfectly legal to insure two cars in your own name - might be worth chatting to an insurance broker about getting your NCB used for a single policy covering both the cars.
