    How can it be 15 days out of tax on the 20th day of the month?

    Have you asked about him sticking a few months tax on it? He's going to have to pay it sooner or later.

    They can only impound after 2 months out. They could fine but to be honest, within first month, there is not really an issue.

    Also more importantly make sure you insurance covers you, driving other cars extension on car policies doesn't normally cover driving commercial vehicles.

    do you have to pay for recovery vehicle and storage fees, i suppose it depends on what guard that stopped you really

    You only pay if you want it back. Or if your mate wants it back.

    As already said, as long as everything else is in order they cannot seize the Vehicle unless the Tax has expired by more than 2 months.
