A mates is buying a car off me but as we're a few hundred miles apart he isnt taking it for a few weeks

No mot on it but if he insures it can i then drive it to be MOT'd even though the car is still in my name?

I would be driving a car insured by him, I would be driving it with my insurance stating I can drive any not belonging to me.

 

If the logbook is in your name then the insurance should be in your name aswell

At the very least you'd need to be a named driver if he's insured it

 

as i remember from previous experiences for u 2 drive a car not insured by you, the car you will be driving will need to have fully comp insurance, but your insurance will only cover you 3rd party on the car, as for the mot you can drive it to a test station without mot but you will need to prove to the police if you get stoped that this is wot you are actually doing and not using it as an excuse

 

Cheers

I have another car, just thinking of helping a mate out by getting it MOTd for when he comes for the car or at least if it fails knowing what needs to be done

I am with Admiral but they have stopped insuring it as and when I want to, they were ok for me to insure it a couple of weeks here and there when I wanted to use it but last time they said only for the one day at the same price so am now selling the car
