1455242 2018-11-03 08:33:00 If, my car's WoF expires on 1st Dec, 2018, and I will be away from say, 3rd Nov 2018 to 21st of Jan 2019,

Is it OK to get my car check for warrant after I return? Or, I need to get it done before I leave?

Are you or someone else going to be driving it? In which case yes it does need a warrant.
Why not get a mate to take it in?

1455245 2018-11-03 18:59:00 Yes, you should obtain a new warrant before you go. They will (or should) calculate the six months from the expiration of your present warrant so you won't miss out. Roscoe (6288)
1455246 2018-11-03 23:02:00 After.

If it's off the road then it doesn't matter that your insurance is invalidated for the period.

Unless it gets stolen. Or someone sets it on fire. Or gets damaged in an earthquake. Or zombies.

Probably get it done before.

1455248 2018-11-04 00:13:00 Personally I'd book it in before you go, make the appointment for when you return, or better still simply get it done beforehand.


Allblack actually makes a good point
If it's off the road then it doesn't matter that your insurance is invalidated for the period.

While its possible you wont have an accident, murphys law -- if you do happen to drive it, forget for a few days, even taking it get a warrant and something happens your insurance company will only be to fast to say sorry not warranted - insurance is invalid. ( they don't need much to deny a claim).

Just do it before, make it easier on yourself.
Otherwise you'll be driving unwarranted on the way to the testing station & to & from the garage to get any failed items fixed.

I agree but I'm pretty sure it is actually legal to use an unwarranted vehicle for the purposes of getting a warrant, just don't go detouring off on other errands along the way.
I have no Idea how insurance companies view that though, I suspect not favourably.
