Hi all,
First time on the forums today, and I've got a bit of a question for anyone who knows more about insurance than me.
Our motorhome broke down in France over a year ago and has been parked up over there ever since. I've hatched a plan to go over and fix and rescue it, but it has no tax, MOT or insurance for when I bring it back.
It seems that insurance shouldn't be a problem, but I can't get a tax disc without a recent MOT certificate. I certainly don't fancy chancing it and driving it up North without tax.
I've read however, that you can drive without tax if you're on your way to a pre-booked MOT. So what do people think about me booking an MOT in Dover, and driving it off the ferry to the MOT centre without insurance. Do you think that's ok?
What about booking a test near home (near Manchester) and driving straight there - is that pushing it?
If anyone has any experience or knowledge in this area I'd be most grateful for any advice!
Thanks in advance,
Dan
