How to get a car with no tax or MOT to a garage?

[Eater Sundae 12]

If you can't get garage to fetch it, the other option is to take out a 1 day insurance - there are companies which specialise in this.

oh bobbar no insurance either will cost a bomb to insure it even monthly after ive paid the deposit. arrgh! are you allowed to tow or would it have to be on a transporter otherwise?

 

If you can't afford the insurance why do you want to have it pass an MOT. Without the insurance you won't be able to drive it anyway so what's the point?

No I can't afford insurance NOW as in this week but it needs an MOT (and possible repairs) ASAP, then when I get paid needs insurance and tax.

Why not keep aside the money you've currently got to pay for the MOT, and take it in when you can afford to also buy the insurance?

 

...it does seem a bit pointless getting an MOT, the first few weeks of which will be completely wasted because you can't afford insurance.

On the other side it seems silly getting insurance on a car that you can't use 'cos you're waiting for repairs to be done to get it through the MOT?...6 and two 3's really..

It's not going to be a few weeks. Look, I really don't want yet more arguements on this forum over silly things, I WILL be getting insurance etc hopefully in 2wks when I have money as the deposit is fairly hefty given I am a new driver then plus £60ish tax, I just want it repaired and MOTed ASAP and I need to get it all done and off my Grandma's drive as soon as I have insurance/tax. Is that OK for everyone?

Fine for me,I told you in post 2 what was needed..

Not you deary.... not you

 

Thanks for all replies, I guess it's temporary insurance or whatever it is. A guy has PMed me about picking it up & MOTing it for £40 so may go down that route if I don't sell it x

your going to have to get insured eventually for the car ,why not pick a company that lets you pay monthly and then you are covered with the first payment,all you need is the cover note and the appointment at the m o t centre
