Insurance for MOT

[WD Forte]

Dear BCF
I've been fixing up a wee scoot for the lad and it's almost ready for MOT
Its been off the road for years and He's sorned it since getting the V5

My bike insurance allows me to ride other bikes
but does this allow me to ride it to the MOT and back
if he hasn't got his own insurance sorted yet?
TIA
Unsure of Bristol

No, the bike needs insurance.

The only way you can do what you're suggesting is with trade plates. The insurance is on the plate, not the vehicle.

Hi

Depends on the exact wording of your insurance policy. Some do specify that it must be insured anyway.

All the best

If I have 3rd party insurance on any other bike on a policy, but the bike on which I have the policy has no MOT - am I still insured 3rd party on other bikes - seeing as I'm not riding the actual bike to or from a pre-booked MOT?

Moot point really, my Honda CRF mot has expired, but I also have this on my Beta.

I know you've mentioned that it is a Pre-Booked (sensible) MOT test in advance, ideally get something on their header paper with the appointment too, this way (once you've got the insurance sorted) you've covered the "to and from the place of test" part of it too...

Just a phone call to book is not really enough in some cases, you need something a bit more concrete ideally "just in case"

Hope all goes OK with the test too.

Quotation printouts for an MOT?

[M.C]

Probably not that relevant to bikes but if you book online through a chain you'll get an email receipt/confirmation. In the past I've rang up, told them the bike has no MOT and they've taken the reg'. If you did get pulled and they wanted confirmation I doubt the garage would lie.

[Ste]

You could have whatever bits of paper with quotes on them or email confirmations and they don't mean anything. What's needed is for the garage to have a record of the booking along with the registration of the bike.

It's all standard stuff for the MOT garage.

[M.C]

With kwik-fit etc. you book a specific slot and get an email saying the date/time of the MOT. As I said not that relevant as I'm not sure of a chain that does bikes.
