Right im buying a cheap runaround for 300 quid tomorrow, BUT its got no tax. How am i going to get tax, because the V5 takes a few days to come doesnt it. Could i go to look at it and take the V5 (in his name) Mot certificate and insurance certificate (in MY name) to get it? Or does the insurance HAVE to be in the owners name?

Thanks John.

You can tax it with the little slip of the V5 the seller give you while you are waiting for a new V5. The post office only let you do this for a limited time.

Can you??? Thats cool if you can, and what you mean a "limited time" you mean like 2 days after buying it or something? Also what are the fines/points for not having tax, if you are travveling to buy it?

Most Post Offices will need to see the original cover note or Insurance certificate. This is a problem I had when I was taxing my bike when I bought it, as I was waiting for it to be delivered for a week. Remember you will also need a valid MOT certificate and the V5 new owner slip.

No, the reason the post office need to see the insurance certificate is that they have to see that the bike is insured not just the rider.

I think anyone would have to be stupid to ride a bike without tax. But thats just my personal opinion! It invalidates your insurance as well.

I've taxed two different bikes with the DIY cover note from Ebike insurance without any problems.
