HELP!!
I am wondering if anyone could give us some advice.
We are currently in Spain (Benidorm) with our UK car, the UK MOT ran out on the 27th of October 2017 and therefore our UK tax has also now ceased. We have recently purchased a business here and are about to start trading in a few days, however if the business does not go well in the first couple of weeks we will be leaving to go back to the UK, however we need to go back in this car. Could anyone advise us the best options cost wise we have to get back to the UK if we have to and also what we should do now with the car as we are assuming we are unable to drive the car here in Spain now as the tax and MOT are no longer valid? |

Without MOT and/or tax your car is no longer legal in Spain and would have to be trailered back to the UK. There's no legal way of obtaining a MOT in Spain for a UK registered car. The Spanish traffic police have online access to the UK database and can easily verify your cars' legal status. :( You could try selling it to a car breaker in Spain to offset your flight costs. :unsure: It's really unfortunate that your MOT has lapsed, It's the one thing you cannot rectify while in Spain! :( Edit......Just seen reply above. I agree with comments. |
Re: HELP!!
And don't forget that without an MOT your insurance is now invalid
