Drive SORN'd car to new house

[winshent]

I was thinking taking my car off the road for the winter as insurance is up for renewal next week and I dont plan to use it until around April, so I was looking at SORN'ing the car also.

I will be moving house late Dec or early Jan..

What are my options? If a friend drives it under their insurance then from an insurance stand point its ok?

Would I technically have to pay for one months road tax just to move it to the new house, which is two miles away?

I didn't realise a car has to be insured by the owner in order for a fried who insured to drive other cars TPFT..

I don't have access to a trailer..

Just weighing up the risk...

You could of course ore book an MOT for it. So therefore OK. On the way back happen to go to the other house. So you are fine if you get stopped as you are coming to and from a registered / pre booked MOT appointment. If being a little disingenuous.

• This only helps with SORN. Not lack of insurance. I assum even if SORN you would have insurance anyway?

Nice idea but I only MOT'd the car last month LOL..

The idea was to leave it in the garage of the new house and hope it doesn't get nicked. Therefore offsetting the insurance payment..

This is our first house we are buying and trying to save every penny atm.. And my other car is now off the road so all extra is going to that.

Managed to get a quote of £30 for 1 day of insurance.. Bit of a piss take given my 12 month renewal is £400, but still probably my cheapest option.

My current insurance runs out in the next few days.. Car is still taxed, but will be off the road when current insurance runs out (if I don't renew)...
