Assuming your car didn't dissolve into a pile of irony during the test, you now need a valid MOT certificate. Then, you must buy vehicle tax. This is where the government’s website turns into a haunted labyrinth. You will need your V5C logbook—that flimsy sheet of paper you swore you’d file properly and definitely didn’t use as a napkin.
If you lost the logbook, welcome to the bureaucratic waiting room of doom. You have to fill out a V62 form. Doing this is roughly as fun as licking a postage stamp that tastes like regret. It takes weeks.
Once you have tax, you then need insurance. And no, your “I’ll just drive it to the shop” plan doesn’t work. The insurance fairy needs a full policy, even if you only plan to move the car three feet. It’s the law, and it hates you.
