Selling /taxing car with photocopy of v5?

[Lambchop 4]

Hi , I’ve got a diesel fiesta that came with a photocopy of the front page of v5. Is £30 a year to tax . Can I pay for a year tax then sell using that photocopy? . I suppose I could ask new owner  to tax at end of year?

Tax it when new keeper buys it , 

doc number on front of V5 , just add number 5 to front of that number to tax it as normal online , Then transfer to new owner online , dead easy .

Dead easy mate . 

V5 number can have any number 1 - 9 I just always use 5 . 

This is handy if you get a car without a V5 C /2 green slip 

I don't even let customers see the old V5 now , GDPR
