You will not legally be able to drive it to the dealer with no tax even if it did only expire the day before.

If I were you, and it's not too far I'd drop it off the day before.

Your other options are to ask them to collect it from you on their trade plates or buy six months tax and then remove it once you have dropped it off and apply for a refund but you will lose a month for that one day.

Being a firm believer in Sod's Law I'd drop it off the day before.....insurance and all that as well as the whole legal on the road, I mean who'd break the law??

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I go to trade in a car every numpty seems to be trying to put me off the road.....one day they'll succeed!

Give it to the stealers before the tax expires man ....when your tax date is up so technically is your insurance ....So if someone decides to borrow your motor before you give it to the stealer your insurance company might just point to the small print ....you follow ...ON A STEEL HORSE I RIDE

I had my Dealer pick up my P/X car from my drive.
It was a 40 mile round trip for him using trade plates, but hey, that's all part of a decent dealers lot.
