[johnbot429]

i havent got the foggiest!! i dont even know if its in my name, i presumed that mini sport being the reputible firm they are would have sent the v5 off for me in my name?? but i havent had any papers through the post! so it looks like im going to have to shell out for the log book!!althought on ebay where the car was advertised said they had all the papers?? have i been taken for a ride? cheers

1992 Rover Mini 1000 City E Mauve/Purple

(sorry for the overlaps!)

Maybe asking MiniSport where the docs are would be a good idea?

[Jammy]

I'm not really understanding the sequence of events?

I'm assuming you bought the car off Ebay from MiniSport, and that you've picked it up from them already? At which point you should have filled in the new keepers supplement of the V5, as well as the new keepers details section and signed and dated the V5. You keep the New Keepers supplement and Mini Sport should have sent off the rest. If you have the New Keepers supplement you may use this (within 6 months from the date of sale) to tax your car, as well as apply for the V5 without having to pay for the 19 pound charge.

[taffy1967]

When did you buy the car?

They could just be in the post so to speak and the SORNED status doesn't always show up on some searches anyway.

[minislapper]

If it isn't taxed, make sure you get a SORN form sent off ASAP. Once the change is 'in the system' they'll be on to you if it's not taxed or SORN.

[johnbot429]

well i didnt actually go for the car myself, i sent a low loader from work to pick it up for me, i jst presumed mini sport would have filled in the new keepers form!? they had all my details, i got the car about 2 and a half months ago, mini sport just say well have a look and ring you back and never do!!so looks like im cashing out, if any charges are incurred ill forward them onto mini sport, i cant fill in what i havent got?? ha ha

[Guess-Works.com]

Well..... recent experience has shown that V5c's are sent out pretty rapidly...

When I bought the Mitsubisi the V5c was with me in less than two weeks, and I picked up a Mini on the 14th and the V5c arrived yesterday...

[Jammy]

They can't fill it in, YOU have to be present, for a start you need to sign the V5!

[MiniMooster]

Can I butt in quickly on this one? (Sorry johnbot429!)

I was nosing at the DVLA link and the vehicle status for mine shows as "Unlicensed with Keeper Change". I still haven't received the new V5 for my Mini that we picked up over a month ago now - presumably that status means that the previous owner has finally sent the new details off to the DVLA and I should get receiving it soon then?

Ta!
