My brother serves in the RAF, while he was in & out of the UK over the last 2 years the car has been kept off road & SORN'd
He is now stationed back in Blighty and plans to take it back to his base.
I recently had it MOT'd for him and he has now insured it, the problem is he has misplaced the V5c so can't tax it.
He has (today) applied for a new copy but wants to collect the car on Saturday.
If he takes the car untaxed (though insured & MOT'd) and gets a pull or seen by an ANPR whats the likely and/or worse case scenario.
Is it an automatic fine and/or will they hit him with back tax to when it was last taxed in 2005.

TIA

regards
Gareth

Looks like you can tax it online without the V5

Apparently he tried that, it seems you need the V5c document ref number

[Who me ?]

You tell us the vehicle. You will need either the 16 digit reference number shown on your renewal reminder, or the 11 digit reference number from your Registration Document/Certificate (also known as the Logbook) and your vehicle registration mark (numberplate).

If you've still got the reminder that you SORN'd on - shuld have no on .

If you don't mind my asking, what is his role in that Service?
I would like reassurance that the defence of the realm is not being undermined....

How to tax your vehicle if you do not have any documentation
If you have just bought the vehicle and do not have a V5, V5C, V5/2 or V5C/2, you cannot tax your vehicle until you have a registration certificate (V5C) in your name. You can apply for a registration certificate using form V62 (fee applicable). DVLA aim to deliver the registration certificate within six weeks. When you receive your new registration certificate, you can then tax your vehicle.

If you are the current registered keeper of the vehicle and have no documentation, you may be able to tax it at any DVLA local office. You should complete form V62 (fee applicable) as well as form V10 or V85, and enclose the appropriate rate of vehicle tax and other supporting documentation. If you have changed your name and or address you will need to provide proof of identity with your application. Acceptable evidence is a current driving licence, original bank or building society statement, or a recent utility bill. If your name has changed acceptable evidence is a marriage certificate, decree nisi or absolute or deed poll.

Thanks DVD

I'll let him know he can go to the local DVLA, though I think he has left it a little late to get it sorted by tomorrow.

no mate i didnt have my V5 and they gave me a tax disc straight away at the local office. then they sent out a new v5 a couple weeks later. the one in luton is only open mon-fri though so he needs to go today.

We had a flaw with the plan of him taxing at his local DVLA office, I had the MOT certificate up in Manchester and he was near Oxford.
Anyway the daft sod has found the V5c in the boot of his Peugeot thats been parked on base, so he has now taxed the car online and will be coming up on a train in the morning to take away his Trans Am.
(without tax disc in place as it's "In The Post&quot

Thanks for the input guys.
