Indeed if I was French that would be the case but I'm not French. I'd better check the validity of my license while I'm at it then - slippery slope isn't it.

I'm dual nationality, I came with the other passport this time. If necessary, I'll get my UK passport renewed but I want to avoid that if some other ID will do. The driving license is UK, but it's old with no photo. If I have to renew the UK passport, I'll have to get the reimbursement on the next trip over which begs the question - how long do we have to submit the claim? I think I read somewhere three months...

Do you know if a driving license is OK for the ID? My UK passport is out of date but I only have a UK EHIC card.

Sorry for the repeat post. At first i couldn't post the original, then was told i was duplicating, and now i'm told there's a time limit on deleting so i should contact admin on deleting it. Ah. Anyway, thanks for input chaps, i've decided to pull out of that deal, partly on the advice teceived, and gone for one that's CT was completed last month with no contra visites required.

Erroneous post deleted.

Surely you don't get the sticker and cert. until it is roadworthy. ie the contra visite has been made and outstanding faults taken care of. Then on that basis a buyer can have reasonable confidence in the purchase. When sellers say CT OK i presume this is what they mean - clean bill of health.

I'm planning to buy a van where the CT will done after the sale is agreed, as above. In this case, what is the process? We sign a written agreement - sale conditional to CT passing? We go together to the CT centre? Presumably one doesn't hand over the money til the CT's been done....
