Checking you are insured

askMID is run by the Motor Insurers' Bureau. You enter the registration on their site. VehicleScore does not store or display that result.

A vehicle used or kept on a public road needs insurance unless it is exempt. SORN is the declaration that it is off the road. Driving without insurance can mean a fine, points and the car being seized. This page does not quote a penalty amount.

Insurance group, which is a rating from 1 to 50 where we hold it, is a different check: insurance group.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does VehicleScore check if a car is insured?

No. The button on this page opens askMID. That is where the insurance record is checked. VehicleScore does not see the result.

Does askMID also show tax?

No. Tax status is a separate lookup. Use the car tax check on VehicleScore, or GOV.UK, for taxed, untaxed or SORN.

Does a car parked off the road still need insurance?

A vehicle kept on a public road needs insurance unless it is exempt. A SORN declaration is the off-road status. askMID is the place to see the insurance record.
