  • MOT certificate no longer online without V5C 6 Jun 2019 (Forum)
    Checking the Govt MOT history site today I see you now need the V5C number to access the certificate. Previous years' history is still there but presumably that will disappear on a rolling basis in future years. Unless I've missed something this change hasn't been mentioned in this forum so

  • Ford Fiesta - NIP for Speeding - sent to unupdated address 3 Sep 2017 (Forum)
    Got an NIP for speeding, but sent to my parent's address, since I hadn't updated it on the V5C yet. My address is updated on the license and insurance, but I clean forgot about the V5C - which is obviously the address that was given when they ran the plate. The question

  • Why have n't I received my V5C (done online) 16 Apr 2024 (Forum)
    I bought my used car from a main dealer. It shows the last registered keeper changed in January 2024. I don't know why this is. When I bought the car, we were doing the logbook change online. He was having trouble with the 'document number' from the V5C. Eventually, his colleague said put

  • 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.

  • 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
