I've done it and the missus even did it the other night.

You do need a new type MOT and the renewal notice. [not insulting you by the way, just checking]

if your tax runs out vaguely at the same time (about 2-3wks difference) as your insurance then you cant get it online, as it states you have no insurance.

I take it if you put a bit of paper with that written on it in your windscreen then you need have no fear of prosecution? If it is good enough for them I see no reason why it shouldn't be a good enough excuse for us.

oh ffs:

Welcome to the DVLA's Vehicle Licensing Online

I am sorry the service is currently unavailable due to essential maintenance.

You can:
Try again later OR
Apply for a tax disc at a licence-issuing Post Office® or DVLA Local Office (as applicable for the vehicle) using the reminder (Vehicle Licence Application/SORN Declaration) or the Registration Document/Certificate together with the Insurance Certificate or Cover Note, MOT Test Certificate/ GVT Test Certificate (if applicable) and fee.

did it by phone. . .
