Tax reminder for a bike I sold

[dydey90]

I've received a tax reminder for my old CBR125 that I sold to a garage last July. This means they didn't transfer the V5.
There's no MOT so I daresay they've broke it for parts rather than sell it.

Now, do I call the dvla and explain and hope there's no fine? I don't have the receipt so I can't prove the sale.

Do I leave it and hope for the best? I don't know for certain that somebody isn't still riding around on this with no tax or mot and since I'm the registered keeper I'll get bummed for any tickets.

I know this now, but not at the time. I fully realise I may have been a twunt.

I might go to the garage and ask what they did. If they didn't break it I'll have to bite the bullet.

What I'm thinking is this:
-talk to garage
-if broken for parts, applying for new V5 and declare it scrapped if I can
-if sold, try to sort out paperwork
-if this all fails, I'll have to swallow the fine. It's what, £60? I can't scrap it if I don't know what's happened to it or I could end up in deep shit if somebody is still riding around on it.

EDIT: this isn't asking the same question is it? I'm hoping to make this the first thread on auntie BCF where the OP listens to advice.

Tax reminder form asks if you do not own the vehicle and lack V5, to send make, model, reg information to the DVLA, stating you no longer own this vehicle, in writing. They cannot accept this by phone - they claim.
This happened to me the other month, seems that the V5 tear offs can and do go missing, of course I think they just print out the reminders well in advance and get them in the post as soon as they can.
They claim a backlog on processing license renewals, issues, so no doubt they can't do the other stuff, like keep their records up to date.
Remember, their attitude is 'once posted, you got it', your attitude when dealing with them should be the same.
Annoying tho'
