  • V5 document doesn't show garage as a 'keeper' 7 Aug 2012 (Ask HJ)

  • New V5's for old... 19 May 2004 (Forum)
    Hadn't seen anything about this before. Received my renewal for my VED today and included was some info about a new type of V5.

  • Rejected car and V5C 9 Nov 2019 (Forum)
    . So as it's under 6 months for the sale I've rejected the car in writing and asked for a full refund and left it at his premises. I definitely don't want the car back. Whilst I try and get my money back, the car is on his premises but I am the registered keeper on the V5C. I'm insuring
  • V5C 12 Jun 2021 (Forum)
    £150, both he and my wife signed the V5C but did not date it because we did not have a garage to keep it in and at the time we thought that was the right thing to do, he also signed a piece of paper to say he gave permission of the transfer of ownership and he did date this in 2019, unfortunately my

  • Car Tax / V5C Problem 18 Sep 2021 (Forum)
    the seller didn’t send off his bit, and I didn’t realise I hadn’t received the new V5C. After 12 months the road tax didn’t renew, which I also didn’t realise. So my car has been untaxed since January 2021. So how should I proceed from here, I assume I’m going to be fined for not being taxed? Regards Dave
  • How to tax a vehicle with no V5C in my name 30 Nov 2018 (Forum)
    I bought a car from my brother recently, but all the documents including the V5C are still in his name because he only sent the documents to the DVLA earlier today... I have an insurance policy that starts at midnight tonight, and I want to drive immediately so I need to get it taxed before
  • V5C reg document fraud when scrapping a car! 9 Dec 2016 (Forum)
    Any car V5C registered in UK can be scrapped by a thief with a simple declaration of "no V5 available". The scrapyard, even an authorised vehicle dismantler, cannot verify via DVLA or police-related computer links if this is the owner or not, because there are none! The electronic

    there. DVLA infomred me there is a long gap between when the vehicle was last taxed and today (when I'm trying ot tax it!) Do I need to order a new V5C or can I wait until the dealer has posted the old log book off? Why is my vehicle not recognised by DVLA?
