V5C question - bought a used car
Discussion
ought a used car 1 week ago today. No v5c, taxed it using new keeper slip, but still showing the day the last log book was issued as the 3rd april rather than the 24th May. DVLA says they haven't recieved anything. Car dealer says it will take 2 weeks. I think I have a parking charge notice and obviously I won't get it. The thing is on the v5c it;s not the dealer's name its the previous owners? it was part exchange. thinking of sending a v62 off, should i do this or wait? and if i do it, should i photocopy the new keeper slip etc?
The dealer’s name won’t show on the V5, that’s not how it works.
If you have the new keeper slip, you have the reference number for the V5 (just remove the first digit from the 12 digit number on the nks) so could just do the ownership change online yourself and will get a new V5 within a few days.

How do I do that?If you have the new keeper slip, you have the reference number for the V5 (just remove the first digit from the 12 digit number on the nks) so could just do the ownership change online yourself and will get a new V5 within a few days.
Tax only runs month to month so if you tax a car on the 30th you only get 11 months and a day. It will always only be taxed to the end of a month.
Dealers often catch up with paperwork in batches and may just do a load of V5s at the end of the week. As long as they put the correct date on it as change date it will show you as keeper from the day you bought it and any fines will find their way to you eventually.

Many dealers, including a lot of main agents, sit on the V5’s until the 14 day or 30 day rejection/return window has expired. If you have to refund the customer you want to avoid another owner. You still put the correct date down but simply send them off or process them online after the 30 days.
The ticket will get to you regardless. It might go to the dealer, after first going to the auction etc who sold it to them. We get them all the time and just put the customers details on.
I’ve seen it all before, the customer doesn’t get the V5 a week later and instead of calling us they are filling out V62’s and all sorts. It clearly states on a V5 that it can take 4 weeks for the new owners details to be updated.

DVLA website has updated to say last logbook issued 1st June but the DVLA is still showing the tax due date as 1st May 2025 - yet I taxed it on the 24th so it should be the 24th May 2025.
No - its monthly if you get tax towards end of month as pointed out, it starts from the start of that month not a precise date.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
