Hi, I am after a bit of advice re MID requirements as I'm a bit confused (in fact even more so after speaking to my insurance company!) and would be interested to know what you all do. Currently, I only put cars on the MID that are to be used on the road (or were still taxed under the old system), but I read somewhere that any vehicle that has been in my possession for more than 14 days meeds to be on there, even if they are just sat on my forecourt for sale. I had thought that if vehicles were 'in trade' (i.e. yellow slip sent off) then the 'continuous insurance' regulations didn't apply? It was my understanding that untaxed vehicles that are to be used on the road with Trade Plates did not need to be on the MID? My confusion is further compounded as I have a number of vehicles on SOR, both from the 'public' and other dealers - speaking to my insurer this morning, it appears that they also need to be on my MID as they are in my possession, albeit not my ownership? Does anybody have a definitive answer?
