I once got a brand new truck, after driving it around for 2 weeks I was then told it doesn’t have insurance on it and it would be sorted soon so not to worry…

your not responsible for it mate. Visual vehicle checks and road worthiness and a filled in check sheet and that's you done mate. All the legalities fall on the company or O licience holder

If it’s a company vehicle you are liable for carrying out checks. However, I’ve known different constabularies let the individual off of the employer admits liability
