I would highly recommend you do, as for one, you should get a refund on any months of insurance paid for and not used. And two, should the vehicle be involved in an accident after you have sold it, it will show up on the insurer database as you being the insured. If you have not checked and retained the names of the people who bought the car, you could easily have a fraud committed against you.

I've purchased a new car but haven't yet sold the old one. Do I need to keep this insured in the interim while I'm selling it?
I'm trading in my car in on 31 July 2017, the insurance expires at the end of August. Rias want £50 to cancel or £53 to change insurance onto new car for the remaining one month. Had good quotes from another...
I'm selling a car privately, but a couple of the tyres have a slight air leak near the rims and need topping up with air about once week. Do I have to disclose this?
