From what I have been told, when you reach 70 your insurance starts to climb as apparently you are more of a risk

Whether your car is worth under £1k or over £50k will make little difference to the damage done to another car or person it impacts in an accident.

Turns out i'm in the most expensive area for insurance right now at group F in Manchester. When I get my insurance renewed it'll be at a group c as it'll be in Chester most of the time. Hopefully i'll save a few quid.

I'm 75 pushing 76 and renewed insurance on my 75 in October for a very reasonable £218. This was with LV. Try them.

Perhaps LV consider that to be a young age for a Rover owner?

Don’t accept renewal quotes as they’re often just a con and listen to the over 70 twaddle.
I’ve just insured my Merc for £240 and it’s a tad more expensive than a 75
I saved over £150 from M &S renewal quote.
It’s a fact that younger drivers are still the highest risk, not the over 70’s
