As may be obvious from my user name, I am a parish priest, and after taking a funeral for a congregation member last year, I recently heard that he has left his mobility scooter to the church.

There is a whole other tale to tell about collecting the scooter (myself and the solicitor spent an hour looking round his house for the 'ignition' key, couldnt find it, so I had to push it back to my church!), but my main reason for posting was discovering that the scooter has a V5C registration certificate!

I will be registering it in my name and at my address, but wanted to ask if there if any issues I need to be aware of. Luckily I dont need to worry about insurance but is there anything I need to be aware of?

The gov.uk website doesnt have much information about mobility scooters, so does anyone have any wise words?

(Although if the key doesnt turn up, it wont be going very far!)
