V5

[andymadmak]

I've bought two cars this year. When the V5 for the first one came back in February it looked like the document I am accustomed to. The second one, bought last month came back today, and although it's the same document, it is now more red in colour and there is a warning on the front that says the document only proves who is the keeper, not the owner of the vehicle. Other than that, both are V5s and look identical. Question: Does this change affect all newly issued V5s? or is the DVLA trying to tell me that my second car may be nicked? (bought it from a dealer)

They've just changed the design of the V5 I believe.

Yeah, of course DVLA will inform you your car is stolen property by issuing a red V5.

All right matey, no need for the roly eyes! We can't all be as clever as you

They had tons of blank V5's nicked, so they've changed the design for any newly-issued ones.
