(Sorry for the dull thread!) but does a V5 still NAME the previous keeper of the vehicle?

I know it definitely used to, but I had a suspicion that they have recently removed this and only lists the number of previous keepers.
Anyone know for sure?

Many thanks.

What, no multiple differences of opinion, no arguing, no 'yebbut, what ifs', no insults being hurled, no ban hammers being wielded ?

How unlike PH in 2022.

Still plenty out there in circulation that show previous keeper's name & address.

Allow me.

Of COURSE the OP is trying to hide something, probably fronting for kids or a freeman of the land typeor hiding a lover from a wife. OP, it is your fault and if you have to ask then you know you are at fault. For whatever it is.

Better? wink

Until a change of keeper, then it won't.

Not that long ago you could send £10 to DVLA and they would tell you all the previous owners. When I made a request they even provided the original import documentation, where I found that the chassis number had been incorrectly entered on the V5, b had been entered as 6, no wonder BMW said it didn't exist and I couldn't order parts! I wrote to DVLA to point out their mistake and they just sent a corrected V5.

But no, now you have no idea who owned the car, even if it was an individual or a car rental company.
