If I sell my car, can I keep the insurance running and number plate?
It's advised that you cancel your insurance policy when you sell your car. The new owner will need to take out their own policy, and you will be paying for something no longer being used. If an accident is reported to the insurance company by the new owner, you could also be liable for the claim.

To do so, you'll need to let the DVLA know and wait until you've received your V778 retention document in the post. This gives you up to 10 years to transfer the plate to a new vehicle. Alternatively, you can choose to transfer ownership to the new buyer.
