• Service date and vehicle registration date 15 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I just got a reminder through from the dealership that my 12 month service is due soon. According to the V5C the vehicle registration date is March 25th 2009. Is that the date from which the service due date is calculated (i.e. the 12 month service should be done by March 25th 2010)? Also, if I were to take it in, say on February 20th, would the next service be due by February 20th 2011 or March 25th 2011 (assuming March 25th is the current due date)?
• Transferring Personalised plates process? 15 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Has anyone done this as I have a question.... If I go down to the DVLA today and get the transfer onto retention sorted, will I get a new V5C immediately or will they have to send me one in the post? If so, how will that affect me selling the car (auction finishes Saturday morning so buyer may want to collect Sunday). Cheers

• Suzuhi SX4 - How does executor take ownership of deceased car? 7 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  [endif]--> I’m the executor in my late brother’s estate. He owned a car. My solicitor advises that the car can now be sold. I have the V5C which shows my brother as the registered keeper. I wish to send the car to auction but the auctioneers say they cannot accept a vehicle from me if it is not registered in my name. I cannot transfer ownership to myself as section 8 requires a signature from the current registered keeper.
• Subaru Legacy - I may have bought a dodgy car 11 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  I recently purchased a 1999 Subaru Legacy, and I have just received a letter from DVLA telling me that it has previously been notified as accident damaged and before I can get a V5C document I will need to put the car through a vehicle identity check costing £41. Obviously I am concerned about the history and condition of the car and I would like my money refunded by the seller.
