Answer: Sometimes, but auction vehicles can be harder to insure because their condition or history may be unclear.
Check MOT status, tax requirements and roadworthiness before deciding to drive the car away.
Vehicle age, modifications, value or previous write-off history may cause a temporary insurer to decline it.
If the car cannot be insured or is unsafe, arrange transport instead.
