Simon Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Right, i'm currently thinking stupid f**king ideas, so hopefully someone will tell me what i don't really want to hear, and stop me from making a stupid as f**k decision.So, if i declare a car as off the road, as i understand it, you dont need to pay TAX or get it mot'ed, correct?However, does this also mean i don't need to pay insurance?Also, are there any other charges for declaring a car as off the road. Not worried about one off payments, more worried about if i'll get charged monthly or yearly.Main thing is insurance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) No you don't need insurance, but just be careful where you keep it because if someone nicks it/sets fire to it/damages it you will, obviously, get sweet fa.But the answer to your question is no, you don't need it insured when it is registered off road.And also it doesn't cost you anything to declaire it off road, if you still have remaining tax on it, I think you can claim some money back from it at the post office.

anzo Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Clicky Clicky for information about getting it off the road, I think the only rule that applies is that you cannot keep it on a public road, which is fair enough if its going to be uninsured.
