Old Style
What does it mean if a car only has the old style v5 document?
I’m hoping to buy a particular car in an auction tomorrow but on the website it says it only has the old style v5 document. What does this mean? Can I apply for the newer version and would that mean that the seller has something to hide?
Also is it important to have the newer style document or foes it just mean the old owner never upgraded?
Thanks
A few years ago the DVA changed the old registration certificate of vehicles from the v5 version to a newer more informative version. As far as i can remember all registered vehicles were automatically sent the new version. You need the new style document to tax a car so you should check with your local driving authority about what to do if you do make the purchase as it could be difficult to register the vehicle and tax it once you buy it.
Hope this helps
