Hi, Please would someone help with a question that's been nagging me for a while on where I stand with this issue. I have been running a car for the past year that is not owned by myself but by my father. (he does have a reciept for the sale in his possesion). About 2 years ago, my father was diagnosed with renal failure and was put on dialasys. Since then he has also been put on the recipient list for possible kidney transplant. He bought the car with the aim for me to use it so I would be available at short notice to take/pick him up from the dialasys unit if needed, be available to take him to hospital if an organ became available and to attend and help out at their home when needed. I've been reading through the BR forms and one question asks if I have use a car that does not belong to me? Can the OR take the car? Even though I'm not the legal owner, I'm the registered keeper. Can anyone answer please. Thanks in advance
no they cannot if it is not owned by you, the or will presume it is owned by you (as tou are the registered keeper) unless you can prove that it is not, which you can.
The reason they ask if you have use of another car is so that you can claim car related expenditure in section 7 (ie petrol, insurance, possibly road tax) even though you do not own it. It would be the same as if you had a company car
