How can an MoT for an uninsured car?
I wish to take my wife's car for an MoT test but the car is currently off the road by way of SORN. My wife is the legal owner and registered keeper of the car but there is currently no motor insurance cover on her car which is kept in a locked garage.
The motor insurance policy on my own car covers me for driving any other car on a third party liability providing the other car is not owned by me. The wording of my policy does not state anywhere that the other car has to also have insurance cover on it. Does this mean I can drive my wife's car?

The car has to be insured so the only way you can legally get it to and from the MoT station is to employ someone from it to pick the car up on trade plates and trade insurance.
