Taxing a disabled vehicle ?

[SimonV8ster]

If a vehicle is currently registered as disabled for tax purposes, how do you go about buying it/taxing it ? Think there's some paperwork somewhere you have to do isn't there ?

You have to take it to the DVLA in a wheel chair...

Go to a local dvla office and get the v5 changed to plg if your not disabled.

As above, trip to your local DVLA office is the only way.

So I'd buy the car, leave it where it is, go the the DVLA office, get it changed and get tax disc, return to original owners house to get car ?

They're closing local DVLA offices, so hurry up or you'll have to take it to Swansea and bribe them with an English sheep...

you just need to apply for a tax disc

Yes, but its not currently taxed and its down as disabled class. So if I bought it how would I drive it home ?

With great difficulty, assuming you want to be legal. Best bet is to ask the current owner to sort it out for you.
