New Car - Insurance Doc Question

[MondeoMan1981]

Great minds of PH.... wonder if you can help me understand something.....

Relative is buying a new car with a year's free insurance.

Part of deal they are trading old car in.

Dealer is asking for their certificate of insurance for their current vehicle.... I can't think why....

-Can't be to tax new vehicle, obviously reg will be different
-Can't be to prove any no claims, this is usually in the policy schedule not the certificate

Any thoughts ?

Policy number.... Get no claims applied.

To get Insurer's name and Policy number so they can obtain proof of NCB for the new policy, perhaps?
