Possible purchase is SORN and no MOT

And just to clear a few things up trade plates don't insure a vehicle either.

Trade insurance and trade plates are two separate things. Trade insurance will cover any car for road risks on customers vehicles and sd&p on owned vehicles regardless of weather you have trade plates or not and obviously supplied by an insurance company. Trade plates are just a "taxed" number plate supplied by the dvla that can be transferred between vehicles but to be used for trade use only.

You lucky, lucky man! I didn't get any tax reminders for my car, and when I checked, it had run out months ago. Thought I'd got away with it as I'd moved house. NOPE! The new owners hadn't forwarded my mail and the forward mail I set up with the Post Office didn't seem to do anything, and I got an £80 fine, plus all the back tax I owed AND tax from there onward.

Big, stinky plop plops! (you know, this naughty word censorship does mean my swearing has become more childish)
