• MOT certificate no longer online without V5C 6 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  Checking the Govt MOT history site today I see you now need the V5C number to access the certificate. Previous years' history is still there but presumably that will disappear on a rolling basis in future years. Unless I've missed something this change hasn't been mentioned in this forum so this must have changed very recently.

• Ford Fiesta - NIP for Speeding - sent to unupdated address 3 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Got an NIP for speeding, but sent to my parent's address, since I hadn't updated it on the V5C yet. My address is updated on the license and insurance, but I clean forgot about the V5C - which is obviously the address that was given when they ran the plate. The question is this: which box do I tick for the question 'Are your above details correct?'

• Alfa 147 - V5C/3 not filled out properly? 12 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  A man offered to buy my car while I was sprucing it up at the garage to take for an MOT.   After a lot of faffing around I agreed to sell it to him.  I signed the V5C/3 and he said he would fill out his address.  Didn't have my glasses and when I got home I realised he hadn't filled out his street address - just an odd name and a postcode. Have I been stupid and am I in trouble?

• Why have n't I received my V5C (done online) 16 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  When I bought the car, we were doing the logbook change online. He was having trouble with the 'document number' from the V5C. Eventually, his colleague said put a "1" on front of it and it seemed to work.  I have phone DVLA and they have no record on a change. So I have to fill in some paperwork.  Anyone know why this has happened?
