How to check your car is insured
Getting an impounded car released is a headache you can do without. If you’re unsure whether your car is insured, there’s a very simple way to check.
Go to the Motor Insurance Database, enter your vehicle’s registration number and the MID will tell you instantly if it’s insured or not. This is a free service and well worth taking a minute of your time to avoid your car being seized.
When can a car be seized?
The police have the power to seize a vehicle if it’s:
- Driven by someone who doesn’t have a proper driving licence or suitable insurance.
- Illegally or dangerously parked
- Broken-down or abandoned
- Carelessly or inconsiderately driven
What do you need to release a seized car?
If your vehicle has been seized without valid insurance you may need to provide the following to get your vehicle released:
- Proof of identity such as a photo ID
- A valid driving licence
- A valid certificate of insurance (if you don’t have any we can give you an online quote).
- Proof that you are the registered owner of the vehicle. This can be the full vehicle log book (V5C) alongside proof of address.
- A valid MOT (unless the vehicle is being taken away by a recovery truck or to a pre-booked MOT test).
