One word answer Yes or No
 

My friend has a UK car. He's had it ages. Doesn't renew the tax or M.O.T. yet insures it. Doesn't take it to the UK every six months or whatever you're meant to do. Is it legal over here? I say no, he says yes.:confused:

The answer may well be no, but I've heard it mentioned on more than one occasion that the insurance is still valid and the companies will cough up if required. :confused:

I wouldn't risk it.

I personally know someone who'd paid his insurance religiously for 6 years and when his pride and joy car was stolen - nothing. the insurance company refused due to the owner not disclosing the car wasnt legal in the country it was registered in

No, not legal.

Re: One word answer Yes or No
 

I suppose thats to be expected,but maybe in the event of a minor claim it could be processed without a problem.
However as other posters have mentioned it's not to be recommended and is likely illegal.
The insurance companies must be very dodgy by accepting the premium payments on foreign reg cars if they knowingly have no intention of paying out under any circumstances.

Re. Insurance. this is what our Moderator Fred James posted

You are quite correct about the legality issue but you are wrong in making the assumption that just because a car is illegal, that the insurance would be invalid.

It will depend on the wording of the policy. For example not having a valid ITV does not necessarily invalidate your insurance. The company may have a clause about roadworthiness but an ITV certificate does not prove that the vehicle is roadworthy apart from the minute you drove it out of the test centre.

I raised this specific point with Linea Directa and they confirmed to me that absence of a valid ITV would not affect the policy any more than not having paid your road t
