Never seen so many fantasists in the comment section 'this is illegal' 'you're going to jail' 'you need non registered keeper insurance' 'it's an offence to not register a car immediately' - I'm sure you'll all get so far being good little rule followers and the government will reward you for you subservience 👍

Another V5 issue, highlighted in an excellent video by Scottish Car Clan, is in relation to log book loans; they had bought a car, HPI clear, received the then sold it on 6 months later. The next buyer went to trade the car in and it was now coming up as having a logbook loan against it. The first seller had applied for duplicate V5 gave the’”lost” one to the SCC guy, then having retained the current V5 simply applied for a loan against the car *after* he had sold it…

If the guy had evidence he bought the car before the loan was granted this is classed as fraud and the loan would be removed against the car Or personally I've had them before and just stripped the car or buy an accident damaged one and swap everything over just to get some money back 👌

@@XBMCXBOX I’ve no idea what the outcome eventually was, however chances are the finance company would repossess the car and then you’d have to fight to get it back. The law up here is slightly different, whereas down south the finance company would be able to seize the car from the innocent new owner, up here as long as you can prove the car was bought in good faith at a fair price then they can’t take it back, unless you’re a trader…

Another good tip not very well known is if a vehicle has been taxed whilst in trade in full, not by direct debit and then sold to a private person afterwards, the remaining tax stays on the vehicle. We've done this many times when using a car as a run about. Usually only a £20 or £35 tax car but we can't then claim back the tax so the new keeper might as well benefit from it and not pay the government twice.

car needs to be in Trade to tax on a V62, if not in trade you need the last keepers postcode, here's another tip, if you want to tax a car as a new keeper and have v5c but green slip is missing simply put a number (such as 3) in front of the doc reference number from the v5c and it will tax online as a new keeper, select you have the green slip when taxing

You can't but what we do in that case is fill out a V62 with new owner details, (your buyer) write the dvla a cheque or postal order for £25 and let the owner tax it at the post office before collection or do it for them (just charge them the tax amount)

Ridiculously, yes (unless it's SORN)! The law says that you must normally have at least third party motor insurance if you drive or own a vehicle. You must also have insurance if you leave it parked on the street, on your driveway or in your garage. You don't need motor insurance if: you have a valid Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) your vehicle has been kept off a public road since before 1 February 1998 your vehicle has been scrapped, stolen or exported and you have given notice of this your vehicle is between dealers or is being held in stock by an authorised dealer.

There is a difference between Keeper and Owner.... The v5 is only concerned with the current keeper. Identifying the owner is a far more complicated problem... lol Also, opening a letter that is not addressed to you leaves you subject to criminal prosecution, as does failing to notify the DVLA where a change of keeper has occurred.. Your method of cherished plate retention is encouraging people to commit a criminal offence, so you know...

7:59 Except you (the seller) can be fined up to £1000 for this, the driver is also breaking the rules. The owner would also need 'non owner' insurance for a car not registered to them. If they did have an accident in the first week and the insurance was deemed invalid because of the sellers actions it could come back to bite you. See the following- The Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (as amended) Offence of using an incorrectly registered vehicle (1)A person is guilty of an offence if, on a public road or in a public place, he uses a vehicle to which subsection (2) applies and in respect of which- (a)the name and address of the keeper are not recorded in the register.....A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. I've known traders to keep the v5 for months until the warranty expires.
