Bought a bike but have no tax or v5 please help.

[zeano182]

Hi guys. 

me and my dad went and bought a cbf125 on sunday. The guy seemed tottally genuine but stated that his v5 and new tax disc which he had got was in his mums car and she would not be back for 2 hours. We had drove an hour to view the bike and did not want to leave without it. The bike is insured and everything like that. He wrote a reciept and gave me the new keepers slip which he did have on him....however, stupidly this seems to have fallen out my pocket on the ride home. 

it is now friday and not a sign of anything through the post he said he would send me but he has kept in contact and says he is going to ring the dvla on monday and say hes sold it but ita got lost in the post. My main issue is now im currenttly riding a bike that had no tax disc and no way if taxing it? He says it is definatly taxed....will this show on the police database? Any ideas how I can get it taxed? 

any help would be great as I am having to use the bike to commute to work and worried 

Thanks zeano183

It says the liability was due on 5/3/2014 nut he is addwment its taxed and can take a while to show up on database??

I would have asked why he had the new keeper slip but not the rest of the v5

Could be a genuine enough reason but enough for me to walk away.

Please tell me you did a HPI check on the bike????

If you did and it came back clear, just apply for a new V5. The bloke who sold it should send off the V5 to the DVLA, if he genuinely has it, but I don't believe he does.

You or your father did test ride it didn't you?

The only logical reason I can think of someone only having the slip part of a V5 is they have recently bought the bike but have now realised it has serious issues and is looking to offload it to a gullible fool.

Hopefully not too gullable. I had it serviced yesterday at a honda garage and they did oil change and brake tested it and all that and they said it qas perfect. Asked how much I paid which I said 1000 and they litterally said youve got a good bike there mate its been looked after.hpi clear. Im just scared of it nor ahowing tax....would I have to wait to tax coz if thats the case I wouldnt be able to get to work??

I received the V5 for my Jeep in early February even though I bought it in December.

Wouldn't be panicking just yet as they take a few weeks but this malarkey with only having New keepers slip does sound a bit iffy.

Hope it gets sorted in the end.

Drove an hour to look at it? I'd have been waiting for his Mum to get back too.
