There is provision within the law that enables importers of used vehicles to drive or ride their vehicles direct to an MOT station without a licence plate providing an appointment has been pre-arranged. An MOT certificate is required as is insurance in order to register an imported vehicle with the DVLA, how do I get my vehicle to an MOT station and registered with the DVLA if I cannot get the necessary insurance cover to drive on the road? Specialist insurance brokers like Lexham should ensure that insurance companies can comply with provisions within the law such as this one. As it is the insurance cover Lexham have provided is not fit for purpose with regard to registering my vehicle with DVLA. When taking a vehicle for an MOT there is no difference between the risk for a vehicle with or without a registration number, If the VIN number and other vehicle information is sufficient to give me insurance cover it should be sufficient to allow me to ride my vehicle for MOT inspection purposes.
