"Now about road worthiness / certificate of fitness type of thing? (The likes of what they have in UK called MOT)?"

this is done once a year when your road permit (estimara) expires only

I am sure... this is 1 year back have they changed the rules .... i dont think so as long as its valid u can transfer it to the new owner's name

Ok, got that abt the insurance (thanks).......QR 10 (no premium needs to be paid if its still valid) and it can be transferred to the new owners name and will be valid until the next premium was due (Right?)

Now about road worthiness / certificate of fitness type of thing? (The likes of what they have in UK called MOT)?

Insurance can not be transfered. You have to have a n insuranco on your own name when you chage the car ownership

Is there like a road worthiness certificate for a car? Is it in the name of the car or the owner? So if its a used car, should names be changed on that?

What about road taxes? Insurance? Is Insurance transferable?
