Hi guys. The time has come for me to get rid of my old Rover 216 (which I never use now I've got the MR2).

Thing is, when I came to check the documents, it's MOT had expired.

I put it on autotrader dirt cheap, clearly advising potential buyers that it has no MOT. I've already had a guy phone and he's in a real rush to get his hands on it. He wanted to collect tomorrow but I can't make it, so we're arranged for Wednesday night.

The question is, am I liable if he decides to drive it with no MOT?

I've clearly told him both in the advert and on the phone, but I don't know the law well enough to say if that'll discharge any legal duties I have.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,
Al.
