cheekymonkey Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Insured my bike yesterday, trying to buy tax online today but it's still coming up as not insured (also uninsured on askmid.com). Anyone know the details of how often data gets pushed to the dvla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 thought it updated daily (24hrs) ah miss read insurance depends when the company put it on i guess and not the broker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yep - every day. Is it a muti-bike policy by any chance? we get problems with those sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhawk Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have my Lex added to my policy as a second car; it was done two weeks ago and still doesn't show! I got pulled yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Legally, insurers have to get policies (or changes/updates etc) onto the MID within 7 days. (It used to be 14 days until January this year.) Most insurers perform updates to MID within 24 hours, but as someone already said, if you're with a broker, there may be a delay before the insurer gets the data.

Give your insurance company a bell - MID doesn't lend itself to multi-anything policies quite as well as it should... hence only the first vehicle gets picked up.

cheekymonkey Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 D'oh, I just tried again after another 24 hours and it's still not there. It's not a multi-bike policy, just a new one with Bennets. I should get the policy doc's tomorrow anyway (hopefully) so can go tot he post office assuming I can actually find one that does VED!
