View Full Version : buying a car with no v5
right if you buy a car with no v5 what do you do when you get it? how do i go about getting one and how much?
i know the car isnt dodgey as i baught it we filled the v5 in he said he sent it but i never recieved it, so i sold it with no v5 as i presumed it was on its way to me, but i might be getting the car back you see, and i never did get the v5!
cheers lew
its illegal to buy a car without a V5 iirc do you still have the green bit when you filled it in first time round ??
let me think lol the big bit of paper? or that small piece that gets ripped off?

If you posted it off to the DVLA then give them a ring and see if they got it!
Personally, i'd never buy/sell a car with no V5, but to get a peplacement V5 it'll cost you about ?19!
If you know him it should be OK [should!] You send off a V52 form application for logbook V5c and the DVLA will contact the previous owner to ask if they sold it to you.
Give it a go :D

like the guys say you need to get a v52 and fill in all the details and send ?19 also to the dvla who will then send out a replacment , theres a few boxes to tick asking why you dont have it , but it easy to fill in , then get new log book in about 2 weeks easy!

no as its against the Data protection act :thumb:
ive got a car with no V5, as its a Cat D write off, that hasnt been VIC checked lol so no logbook for me :D
Right a fair bit of mis information going on here...
A. The fee for aplying for a logbook has gone upto ?25.
B. Its a V62 you need to fill in to apply for the logbook.
If you have the new keepers supplement also known as the V5/2 then you will be able to get a free logbook if you send this off with the V62 form and tick the box.
If your car is a CAT D it DOES NOT need a Vic only SOME CAT C cars need a VIC not even all of the C's do. No CAT D needs a VIC you just need to pay the ?25 and apply for the V5. If you do need a VIC check then you also can claim a free logbook.
And you can ring the DVLA Option 4 to check to see if there is required VIC marker against your reg.
Also another point, its not illegal to buy a car without a logbook, there is a section on the V62 that states reason for applying, Previous keeper never had V5 to pass on etc, also all the auction house's in the country selling cars without logbooks would be breaking the law and they dont!

Mine DOES require a VIC lol and a syll panel as the current is erm, a bit bendy lol hahahahaa
Never really looked into a VIC check for it, as it was only a winter hack anyway lol

have to disagree with you there mate i recently bought a cat d as well , and i got a log book 2 weeks later filling in a v52 and sending ?19 quid to get it cat d s dont need a vic test!
If your car requires a VIC it is a CAT C 110%.
And the fee is now ?25 i had a application returned yesterday for inssuicent funds as i sent ?19.
This is the letter the DVLA sent me back in December 2006 upon purchase:

Not saying it dosent need one, saying if it does need one its a CAT C not CAT D as you previously stated.
