Major Incident In Southport

[Mottie]

For which you would need a test certificate and a log book Spanish equivakent.

No, no and no. As I said, I think everyone else here can see why except you. Think about it.

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

The usual one.

Then you need to reappraise your story.
if it was UK registered, you couldn't tax and test it in Spain.
If you need to test and tax it, it would need to be registered in Spain.

I also suspect that any Spanish insurance company would not insure it for permanent use in Spain.

So if it was UK registered, and used permanently in Spain without it ever returning to UK, it was not tested, probably not insured (legally) and not taxed.

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

No, no and no. As I said, I think everyone else here can see why except you. Think about it.

Why don't you tell us?

In addition, you would have to tax it and insure it anyway, in UK, or SORN it.
or be fined for having no SORN

Correct.

And the offence is actually worse if he was an mot examiner at the time !

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

Correct.

He appears to have disappeared up his own exhaust.

 

[Mottie]

Correct.

And the offence is actually worse if he was a mot examiner at the time !

Only if the car was registered to me personally and I issued the ticket.

There is freedom of movement between Ireland and UK.
They can live, work, claim benefits, etc in UK, visa free.
Just as you can travel to Ireland, live, work, and enjoy benefits, etc in Ireland.

Yes, where did I say otherwise? Your reply is irrelevant.

By Jove, you got there. Almost. Not 'in addition'.

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

Only if the car was registered to me personally and I issued the ticket.

So you agree, either your car was registered in UK, and you either SORN'd it each year, and used it without tax, test or insurance in Spain.
Or it was not registered in UK, and it was registered in Spain, where you did pay Spanish road tax, tested it and insured it with a Spanish insurance company.

Neither of those. Keep guessing and pressing.

So how did you test it if it never returned to UK in 6 years?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Only if the car was registered to me personally and I issued the ticket.

No. Fraud is fraud. Knowingly mot testing a car that is not at the testing station, by a tester that has signed a legal statement about it too.

Fraud by 'a tester' certainly.

It seems abundantly clear that mottie was knowingly keeping an untested, untaxed, uninsured car in Spain for his use for whenever he felt like it.
Perhaps he was also allowing his friends and family to use an untested, untaxed and uninsured car in Spain.
