I wonder if that 110 is from the mop people from last weekend... strange place to have a flashing beacon, could be fairground types.

I think it's an insurance industry managed database, not government. Government agencies simply access it when needed. Members of MIB are insurance companies and underwriters.

If it’s a travellers or fairground vehicle they have a different set of rules to comply with
No tax
No mot
No insurance
Tow multiple overweight trailers
Don’t even have to purchase them originally if gifted by a friend.....

It was the road tax and MOT that were showing as negative rather than the insurance.

Hi I’m not making excuses for this but could it be they are on the way to an Mot station after being parked up for a while Question
Hence the no Tax and Mot but it’s insured Thumbs Up Paul

You are supposed to pre book an appointment for the test and drive straight to the test centre by the most direct route It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten

Looking at the MOT check on the .gov website - it was MOTd and failed on the 12th, then MOT'd and passed on the day it was clamped and i took the photo. So looks like the owner had driven from the test centre and parked it in the Hgh St to only get clamped.

I guess its the tax that's the clincher - although newly MOTd it wasn't taxed (still isn't). If it was proper motor trade he'd have plates, but my guess is he's shady trade and was getting the car ready to sell. JB
