Yep, but then they'd be stuck. I hope he isn't planning to move house, either...

Actually, he just has! That's a really good point, I'll have to ask him how he's sorted that. Unless just updating the V5C is something the DVLA will still do?

I put a cat B car back on the roads two years ago, not sure if anything has changed recently though.

According to the seller:

'You apply for a V5 and you get a letter from VOSA saying please take the vehicle to your nearest end of life centre.

If the BMW wasn't registered with DVLA, I wouldn't be able to MOT it as it wouldn't be recognised on the computer system.'

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

And once again, the seller carefully avoids the question...

Yes, you can MOT it. Yes, he has a V5C for it now. But you will not get a new V5C for it.

Exactly.

He moaned that a lot of people keep asking this question.

I told him to put the answer in the advert listing.

Quite. Perhaps if he answered it, people wouldn't ask it.

But, then, if he answered it, nobody would think of buying it.

He has just told me that I am incorrect. If I bought the car and applied for a V5C, it would be fine.

Delusional or what.

"So if I buy it, and can't, will you give me a full refund of the purchase price, all my costs, and recompense for my time?"

Awaiting a response.

I really hope you aren't holding your breath...

Someone living at home with his parents will buy that, then spend £3,000 insuring it.

On a cold wet road I imagine it'll turn into Christine the evil car.

'Do your research before'

In otherwords don't delve or satisfy buyers questions..

[funkyrobot]

I have a response:

'I know there will be no problem as the car will get a v5. If you feel that way pease leave it as I don't have the time waiting for the v5 etc to come back. It's not my car at the end of the day soon as it's sold il just forward the money.'

I sincerely hope nobody ends up being stung by this.

I think everyone may be missing the point here. When the insurance write a vehicle off they request the V5C from the owner and return it to DVLA, as from last October they will not issue a new V5C for a CAT B vehicle but this vehicle was issued with a new V5C at least 5 years ago, I think its only vehicles written off since last october that will be affected by this ruling anything that was already reissued with a V5C should be ok.

I've sent him a message and he replied saying the car is VOSA inspected and approved.

Correct. It is only vehicles declared either CAT A or B after the 26th of OCT 2015 which have NOT passed the now obsolete VIC test that will be refused a new V5 from the DVLA.

This car has passed a VIC test and was issued with a new V5 years before the OCT 2015 cut off date.

You would have no problem being issued further V5s/TAX on this car.

The V5 situation should be the least of your worries if you buy this car. Good luck to anyone that does buy it. You will need it.

PS... Mileage of 50K? My Ass

Mileage checks out ok apart from the gap between 2009 and 2012 where it did 5 miles !
