Does your car have to have insurance to take it for an mot?
The vehicle doesn't need insurance in order for an MOT certificate to be issued, but you do need insurance in order to drive the vehicle to the test centre.
My friend has no tax or mot or insurance as his car has been of the road for some time i am thinking of buyin it can i drive it home with insurance only?
No, but you can book an MOT test for it and you are then legally entitled to drive it to the MOT testing station, provided that you are insured. Once it has been tested you can then legally drive it home from the MOT testing station, providing it has not been deemed to be "unsafe to drive."
Are you insured if your mot has run out and your car is stolen?
if you don't have an up to date MOT then your insurance is null and void. if your car is stolen then you are only covered if you have fully comp insurance!
How can you take back your UK registered car from Italy to England without MOT tax and insurance?
It's illegal to drive (or keep a motor vehicle) on UK roads without valid tax, MOT and insurance, so bring the car back on a flat bed truck or similar and store it off road.
If your car was towed away by police but it is tax has been for an mot and failed but you were working on it and it had insurance were they wrong to take it?
No MOT, providing the vehicle is not dangerous to drive, is NOT a reason for the Police to have a car towed away. A car can be towed away, for no insurance, being driven by an uninsured person, or even reasonable suspicion of being driven with no insurance. No driving license or no tax are also a valid reason to have a car towed away. According to Surrey Police, if they tow your car away by mistake, providing the officer was not negligent, do not have to refund you the costs of recovering your vehicle.
Does it mater if you mot your car late?
Yes. Using or keeping it on a public highway without a current and valid MOT certificate could invalidate your insurance.
You have fully comp car insurance can idrive another persons car third party if the car has a current mot and tax but the owners insurance has runout?
Of course you can drive it... you can drive any car you want... I think the question you are asking though is whether or not it will be legal to drive and whether or not an out of force car insurance policy will cover you if you wreck the vehicle even if it has a current tax and license... right? The answer to those questions is NO. If the current owner's coverage is not in force, it is not legal for you to drive the vehicle unless you have a Non-Owner Insurance policy which insures any vehicle you drive. An out of force policy will NOT cover you at all. Whether the vehicle has current license and tax has no bearing at all on whether you meet your States insurance guidelines.
If your MOT runs out is your car still covered for insurance purposes?
The only benefit to an MOT certificate is to be able to tax your car or prevent a fine if you are required to produce your documents by the police. It does not invalidate your insurance or devalue your car. For example in the event of an accident and your car was written off (this usually being the only time an insurance company will request sight of the MOT certificate and incidentally they know if you have a valid certificate or not just by checking online with VOSA) the insurance company can only devalue your car if it can be proven that you have deliberately avoided to MOT the car due to the excessive expense of doing so, i.e. you know it will cost more than the car is worth so you did not bother. This is difficult for the Insurance company to prove. In the abscence of them being able to prove this all they can deduct is the cost of an MOT and this is generally a standard fee of £60. It is important to remember that an MOT certificate is only fully valid on the day it is issued. Anything can go wrong with it the moment it is driven from the testing station.
Can you drive an American car in England?

Can you leave your car on road with no mot?
No! - As I understand it, the vehicle must have a valid MOT certificate if it is to be kept on a public highway. Also it may invalidate any insurance cover the vehicle may have.
