| 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? |

| 1455243 | 2018-11-03 09:00:00 | I would do it after if it is parked up off the road | gary67 (56) | ||

| 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). |

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. |
