Q plates and insurance
Having read a fair bit on green laning on here i've decided to jump on the bandwagon so my CR125 is booked in for a daytime MOT at the weekend.
I've read on t'internet that i'd have to contact Honda UK and get something called a certificate of newness if I wanted it on an age related plate. 2bh I wasn't that bothered about it going on a Q plate but just wondered if it would mean any hassle when it comes to getting insurance. Anyone have any experience with kitcars/offroaders and Q plates? Thanks

Re: Q plates and insurance
q plates can be a mare and insurance will charge more than a normal plate, just do the legwork to save paying the piper on insurance

Re: Q plates and insurance
As Dave said.
Q plate on a 1999 dt125r made the insurance 900 quid TPFT )as it was stolen recovered but the engine number was damaged). I got an f reg frame on ebay with a v5 and plate for 150 quid and transfered everything across and the insurance was 70quid FC. Most insurers wont even touch them. Q Plates are a massive con so avoid them if you can. |

Re: Q plates and insurance
Thanks for the heads up guys
Put a call in to Honda this morning, should be getting my letter through the post in the next 3-5 working days Just out of curiosity, doesnt anything on a Q plate have to be inspected by DVLA as well as gaining an MOT before being granted a reg plate. So why do the insurance companies have such a problem with them? Oh yeah because theyre complete *******s, just answered my own question!
