can i claim motor tax back if car breaks down later on in the year

My car tax is up for renewal.I will save 50e if I tax the car for the year.But if my car breaks down during the year or I have an accident could I claim back the tax if the car wasnt used or was written off say. normally I only tax for three months at a time in case of breakdown or car being involved in an accident.

The car has to be scrapped with an end of life certificate issued and have at least 3 months tax left to be eligible for a partial refund

There has to be a minimum of 3 months tax left on the car if it is scrapped and you want to claim it back.
