We own a car which our son-in-law and daughter have sole use of. If they do not tax, MOT and insure the car are we liable as the registered keepers?
We own a car but our son-in-law and daughter have the sole use of it and they should tax, MOT and insure it. However if they do not tax or MOT or insure it are we liable for any fines as we are the registered keepers of the vehicle?
As the registered keeper you are required to ensure the vehicle is either taxed or SORNed or you could face a stiff penalty. Similarly if the vehicle is on a public road and is found to be uninsured you could face a large fine, 6-8 points in penalty points and the possible confiscation (and crushing) of your vehicle.
It may be possible to assert you were/are not the registered keeper but this will be a battle all the way and is best not undertaken if it can be avoided.
