im thinking of buying a car that is currently sorn, but it does have a current mot.
its a long way from my home so i would ideally like to drive it home if when i veiw it i like what i see
can i insure it that day than pop to a post office to get tax , or would it take longer because i'd have to wait for cover note to come through
hence will i need to trailer it home
cheers matt
AS long as you have your insurance details, mot and v5 u can do it at the Post office straight away. I cant remember if u have to fill in a form or whether they do it on the computer. Either way you can put it straight on the road aslong as u have all the above.
You will need valid insurance, either a cover note or certificate. I used More Than for my daily transport, bought on-line and the whole pack arrived the next day - quite impressed.
Sorry - should have made it clear - you'll need insurance as described to get tax, unless you have a very amenable p/office.
It always pays, to check, the vendor may still have cover, and subject to payment may re-tax it for you as a condition of sale.

i'll be driving down from manchester and the car is in the bottom of sussex so the car couldnt be any further away unless they pushed it off
