How many roadworthy cars do you have?

[matt21]

How many cars do you have on the road? I’m up to 6 now, all have their own purpose but think it’s getting a bit ridiculous. Only real issue is tax, so try and sorn a couple occasionally, but always cave in and tax them in case I need it during the month. I have:

Boring modern daily estate for work
Wife’s mini
Old manual Passat I’ve had for 15 years. Useful for local stuff and can’t bare to sell it.
Same as above but auto as my wife can’t drive manual
Modern weekend car
Classic

daily seat Mii electric,

her daily freelander 2

scimitar gtc

camper landrover 130 ex ambulance

shed seat exeo estate

Four currently.

2004 Audi TT VR6 Roadster
2017 BMW 440i Convertible
2018 Volkswagen Passat GTE Advance Estate
2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance

The TT, I always wanted one, so made sure I got a nice one 5 or so years ago.

The 440i is a great family day out car with the roof off.

The Passat is the family wagon, round town/school run is essentially free because the car is charged from the solar most of the time, and it’s perfect for domestic holidaying with the kids.

The Tesla is used for commuting, again charging for a pittance.

I do think about condensing down to two cars, something like a Volvo V90 Twin Engine and a Maserati GranCabrio, but it won’t really give me anything different to what I have (other than a larger estate and a better sounding convertible), but I’d lose the TT and the Tesla.

Two …

A mk4 /ND MX5 which is more the weekend toy.
07 plate Jimny that is the daily or if I need to transport more than a toothbrush …

[Mr Tidy]

Just 2 cars that are both roadworthy!

It's probably just as well I don't have space for more.

[brillomaster]

Need the full compliment of info really...

1) how many cars do you own?
2) how many of them are roadworthy?
3) how many are actually taxed?

i'm not a tinkerer/collector of rusty stheaps, so i have 2 cars, both roadworthy, both taxed.

[Yex GTR]

I currently have two, both roadworthy, taxed and insured for the full 12 months and never SORN'ed

Third one incoming in a week or two which will also be perfectly roadworthy, taxed for 12 months and insured and not SORN'ed.

[Cylon2007]

Just the one and the motorbike, both completely roadworthy, in fact the MX5 was MOTed yesterday and the bike (Kawasaki 1000sx) isn't due an MOT till next year.

[Cambs_Stuart]

Two, clio fun car and a legacy daily/family transport. Plus a share of a peugoet boxer camper.

[Vixpy1]

22, all but one is MOT'd, only 8 are taxed during winter

[GetCarter]

One.

(But I know a bloke with over 50).

How do you manage 22 MOT schedules?
Have you synced them all together so they take up an MOT station's bookings for a few days in the year or something?

Sounds like a bit of a job to keep on top of servicing, MOT, insurance, recalls and the like (though I'd imagine insurance is something along the lines of a business policy, so one covering everything?)

[Calinours]

4 modern cars with large engines, one classic, 2 bikes, camper. All are ‘legal’.

2 are free to tax. All rest are taxed through summer, one is taxed in winter.

Without doing that, annual VED bill would be £2000, the same as the annual insurance bill.

I wouldn’t mind so much if the roads weren’t so full of potholes.

4 cars

Model Y bought 2 months ago - to be new family + long work trips car
Hyundai Ioniq Plug in Hybrid - runabout and winter distance work car when I can't be bothered finding public charging.
Saab 9-3X TTID Wagon. The shed on the fleet, something really nice about it, but the ever growing London Ulez means it's going soon.
Ford Capri - used to be my daily in the 90s and still have it. Now a pampered garage queen.

Now if you were to ask how many roadworthy bicycles I have, I'd have to go and think about that for a few mins.

1) 6 cars / 3 bikes
2) 2 / 1 with one more race car that works. Rest are projects
3) don’t pay tax

4 but otherwise as above.I was at 6 prior to retiring early but decided to be slightly more sensible.

[Arnold Cunningham]

4/5:
Mazda 5
Defender 90 V8
MG TF
Audi C5 RS6
Only non roadworthy one is the Ultima. Need time to put it back together

[Aunty Pasty]

I only have one. On a single driveway. I don't understand how people with loads of cars have the space to put them all. Are they just scattered along the street or does everyone live on huge estates with a couple of on-site barns to keep their stuff?

I have an app to keep track and next door is an MOT station so i bring them into work and they collect them , take them for an MOT and return them.

Mostly on classic polices these days, though some are still on my trade policy
