No, it can't. The simple rule is tax or SORN. If it's taxed it also needs to be insured. If it's SORNed, and actually kept off the road, then there is no need to insure. Question: Why is your neighbour doing this? Is he a trader? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought on the askMID website it says that you have to be the legal owner or registered keeper of the vehicle to check the insurance status. Anyway, if you call the 101 / 2202020 number it'll get to the right person at somepoint i assume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
