i would personally get yearly insurance on the car, then cancel when it's sold and you just pay the admin fee + cost on cover in that time.

the news rules state you can't have a taxed vehicle without having insurance on it or they will fine you or take your car away and crush it even if its off road, you have to have tax and insurance at all times or the vehicle sorned, check the government website

Get it MOT'd then sell it cheaper to make up for the price of no tax.

It only came into play at the end of June so thats probably why you havn't heard anything.
