Hi folks,
I'm interested in buying a car in Italy, not sure about the legalaties of driving it home.
It's UK registered, never registered in Italy as it's been used by a trader. MOT expired last Jan.
My insurers don't insist on a MOT but the car must be in roadworthy condition. I might arrange a mechanical inspection before collecting, but is there an issue as the car would be untaxed? I can pre book MOT in Dover so will only be driving to the garage.
Any guidance out there?
Ken
