Motor no nct - will insurance company pay compensation?

do insurance companies pay out if a car has no nct at time of accident?

It depends.... on the insurer, how long the vehicle has had no NCT, the type of accident etc (sorry to be so vague)

An insurer could argue that without a current NCT then your vehicle isn't roadworthy and if it isn't roadworthy then shouldn't have been on the road to be involved in an accident at all for instance. Can you elaborate at all?

They would still have to pay out any 3rd party claims.

and will have the right to go after the insured if they can prove that the car was not roadworthy

They can but that is no concern of the innocent parties.

...................but a big concern to Policyholder if he has assets!

Many don't though.
