      I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've done a quick search and still couldn't get it answered so here's the question:

      What is the best way to go about getting a car that has no NCT, no insurance and no tax back on the road, bearing in mind that it's only worth a few hundred quid and that it might not be economically feasable to get it to pass the NCT in the first instance. I want to sell it off so I don't want to insure it, but I've found that the fact that is doesn't have a valid NCT scares people off.

      I would guess that you'd need insurance to pass the NCT, but not road tax, so I'd say first the insurance, then the NCT and lastly the tax. Is this correct?

      you do not need insurance or tax to put the car through the NCT, just book it in and see how it goes. But bear in mind if the NCT has expired within the last two years it will be backdated to that date for a further two years.

      I believe the question was

      The car could be transported on a trailer as i'm sure the nct centes are bonded due to the high volume of imports tested
