Answer: Possibly, if you have permission and the car is safe and legal to drive.
Insurance does not make a dangerous vehicle roadworthy; use recovery if the fault makes driving unsafe.
If you will also collect the car later, make sure the insurance still covers that return journey.
Check tax and MOT unless a specific legal exception applies.
Check short-term car insurance options
BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
