The dvla are reissuing V5 documents when you either tax or sorn a vehicle. I would have hoped that they would wait a short while after tax/sorn to make sure the vehicle hadn't changed hands but looks like they don't. I have just bought a car so I am going to be in the reverse of your situation.

I'd ring up the dvla's helpline and find out from them what your best course of action is.

I received a new style V5 for my motorbike this week, with a note saying it replaces the old one. I hadn't done anything to trigger it.

Same here, new one for the bike. Because of EU harmonisation they are going to replace all reg documents with the new type, which contain exactly the same information as the old document.

What a stupendous way to waste (our) money.

They are rolling out the replacement documents over the next few months, IIRC. Father had a new one for his Passat last week, at neither tax nor MoT time. Looks like you happened to sell your car just as the DVLA were churning out your new logbook, pure coincidence! A phone call to check wouldn't hurt though.

Also, Isnt the DVLA now sending out letter to prove you are no longer the reistered keeper of a car when you sell it?

Now that is a good idea.
