Conervting an estate to 7 seats - do I have to adjust my V5

[Music Guy123]

Hi,

Firstly, I hope I've posted this in the correct area of the forum, if not, apologies!

I've got a Volvo 940 and wanted to put the rear seats that go in the boot in it. A lot of these cars came from the factory with 7 seats but as far I know mine didn't, however, it should still have all the mounting points. Therefore the conversion is a basic bolt in from another car. So, who do I have to notify if I add these two seats in? Is it just my insurance or do I need to do something on my V5 (which doesn't have any mention of a seating number)? Also, the insurance have no knowledge whether it's a 5 or 7 seater car as far as I'm aware, it specifies 0 seats on the insurance document actually.

Any advice would be much appreciated,

All the best.

Thanks for the advice. I'll leave the V5 alone, the number of seats section on it is blank. I'll let my insurance know, hopefully shouldn't cause any problems.

Cheers for all the help, hopefully should be able to sort something out.

It doesn't specify on the V5 as zero seats, it is just blank which is quite usual for a 20 year old car as they didn't tend to fill in all those details. The insurance document states zero but it states that for all the cars in the fleet so that's pretty normal too. I've contacted the insurance and am awaiting a reply, they are usually pretty lenient and I would be surprised if it is a problem

Also, the insurance didn't ask the number of seats when they gave the quote.
