DVLA issues, previous keeper didn't send off logbook

[Pol Anorl]

So i bought my bros last year and come close to selling it, checking paperwork and ive found i never recieved a new logbook, now the keeper either didn't send it off or dvla haven't sent it out, which means im either not the registerd keeper or i am.

Is there any way i can find out who the registerd keeper is or if dvla have sent a logbook out.

First of all, how could you not notice that the V5 didn't come through the post.

Second, when you bought the bike you should have filled the relevant sections on the V5 in with your details, then tore half of it off and kept it yourself. Now I don't know what you'd do but I assume if you kept that half (which you should) then you should be able to prove that you are the registered keeper to the DVLA if the previous owner never sent his half to them.

Phone the DVLA. Tell them the reg No. and they will confirm if you are the registered keeper.

Do you still have the new keeper supplement?

1) Throw yourself on the DVLA's mercy and prepare for a reaming of Biblical proportions.

2) Try to sell the bike to someone with the same priorities as you.

If you're not the registered keeper, you're probably also uninsured.

You should definitely check with the next Police Officer you come across.

After a lengthy conversation with dvla finaly got it sorted out getting my new v5 sent out tomorrow.
Pain in the ass.

No need to be prima donnas this is really not a big deal and ultimately the only way around it I know is the following.

Fill out a V62 form.

Under the section "Why don’t you have a V5C?" tick the box "I bought the vehicle from the previous keeper or motor trader and I have not received a V5C yet."

...enclose a cheque for £25 to the DVLA.

If you have the V5C/2 section you should have got at the sale you can enclose this and not pay the fee.

Send it to the DVLA recorded (always send recorded to them they are incompetent).

If the seller did not send the V5C originally you will have to wait around 6 weeks as they will try and contact the previous owner if he doesn't reply (usually the case) then they send you the V5C.

No drama. I understand this is what they told you to do over the phone?

Call up the DVLA (use that say no to 0870 website or whatever it's called) and say that you haven't received your V5, give them your address and they will either confirm you are the registered owner or tell you it is still registered to the previous owner.

You could leave yourself open to the old "you should have known and you should have told us therefore we will see you in court" chestnut but at present that has been proved to be a waste of time and unenforceable.
