aaddzz123 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So what have people done in the past to collect a car with no tax or MOT? I don't really have easy access to a trailer and some of the cars I've been looking at are far far too far away to consider driving back at 2am hoping to not see any police not that I think I ever would anyway.It did cross my mind that maybe the AA would "recover" it? But I'm very doubtful that it would happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 you can pay for people to collect and drop it off on a flat bed. I payed 100 pound threw the fella I got a car off to collect and drop off don't know who he used though but im sure if you looked it up be easy as Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Try Shipley.com you post what you have or want collecting and various companies put in offers. I'd imagine they cover cars but i'm not 100% if they do.Sometimes it's cheap other times its quite expensive but might be worth a look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Shiply is good, I found Anyvan.com was also really good, came up with some really cheap quotes to collect my non-running Seo and deliver it like, 300 miles. Think I paid about £100? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TD04HYBRID Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Trade plates! Or do what i did had to just chance it and drive it home felt like the longest drive ever always checking my mirrors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Drove without tax/mot 277 miles home for an EP3.. Was interesting to say the least but i made it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You could book in for MOT and drive it that way. I believe youre allowed to drive a car without tax and MOT as long as youre driving to the MOT center. Would have to insure it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe youre allowed to drive a car without tax and MOT as long as youre driving to the MOT center. Would have to insure it.Ive done this before, only travelled a few miles though.Ive had a GT shell couried before, 300 quid.If the car is driveable then just drive it, make sure you have AA cover as a backup if it fucks on the way home.

aaddzz123 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 You're supposed to take it to the nearest MOT centre though or one within reason I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
