v5 questions....
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:54 pm
just a couple of questions regarding getting a new v5 document.
dvla site gives conflicting answers.... if nobody knows i'll ring them tomorrow...
i bought another ped the other day for a tenner.... owner said it was a cat d write off and had no v5.
(originally said he had lol)
just did a 83600 on it and this is what it said:
baotian pulse
vin ****3665
jan 09
2 owners
no colour changes
no stolen record
not scrapped
we have no record of MX58PDY being subject to a total loss claim by insurers.
happy daze! it isn't recorded as a cat d
but i still have no v5
according to dvla, if the seller has no v5 and didnt notify dvla of the change of owner, i dont have to pay for a new v5, but i need the new owner's slip - which i don't have.
i think what may have happened is it's a transition period between the bike being dinged and the insurers recording it as scrapped.
so what happens if i apply for a v5 in the meantime, seeing as it is not currently recorded?
what if they issue a new v5 in my name and then the insurers record it as a cat d?
and do i have to pay the £25 fee?
