Give them a dated and timed receipt from you. Keep a copy.
Inform your insurance company the car is no longer yours.

Not sure where you have seen the horror stories.

Thought it was a well known issue, found this online "It is an offence to permit a person to use a motor vehicle on a road while uninsured. You would be found guilty of the offence, whether or not you knew that the vehicle was not insured for your friend to drive it"

It's not your car from the moment you've sold it, so not your responsibility.

Think about it logically, where would the line be drawn? Are you still responsible for the insurance the next day? The next week?

It's not a well known issue because it's not an issue, don't worry about it.

When we picked up the QQ in Feb, the Nissan dealer got me to sign a declaration that the car was insured, but I did think that was more because the car is on finance (PCP) rather than any legal responsibility.

On the previous occasion, they wanted to see the insurance certificate, but this time, just needed a signed declaration - if you are really worried, OP, just write something up and get the buyer to sign it.
