kullboys 0 Posted April 1, 2019 I've just picked up a C3 bought on DA. I have the V5C but no green slip attached. Can this be taxed at the Post Office just using the V5C when changing keeper? Not come across this senario before... Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAP 5 Posted April 1, 2019 You will be able to tax online or at the Post Office. Just add a random number to the doc ref number on the V5, and you’ll be able to tax online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. A RANDOM FIRST DIGIT in front of the 11 digit doc ref number on the front of the V5 does it IF the part logbook you are holding is the last one issued for the vehicle.

Nick M.K. 574 Posted April 1, 2019 Just in case you think it might be April fools joke try it with one of your logbooks Dave, without paying in the last screen, works perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works fine, have been doing this for ages now and has previously been discussed recently on this forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark101 536 Posted April 1, 2019 I did this last month on a car with no new keeper supplement - straight through by adding (a 9 or a 1) infron of V5 number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything smaller than a V6 is of no interest to him Too right, although the TD5 Defender I had was ex Mountain Rescue, "Ambulance" Tax category, that was free and never sussed, AFAIK the bloke who bought it off me may well still be at that one Edited April 1, 2019 by Dave2302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I missed the words - in front of the doc ref number. And of course I presumed it would have been the latest V5. If it’s an older type, you can still tax at the post office, they input the reg and validation character and you’re taxed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave2302 387 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Ahhh yeah, OK, so you had to do it at PO and now you'll get a new V5 yeah ? Must have been SORN'd for a few years like my "Disabled Tax" one last week, But that got a new V5 when I got it 3 years ago, I just didn't spot the Tax Class, IIRC the previous owner sent it off to DVLA Edited April 3, 2019 by Dave2302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The blue long one, with the green slip at the bottom, still ok to tax at PO, and new keeper will get latest Red V5 in a few weeks. No charge, just a trip to PO is the only inconvenience. My Mum and Dad used to run a PO, taxed many a car with no paperwork at all, just the reg. number on a piece of paper, and my Mum inputting the reg then trying all the different possible validation characters! It was great when they were an A or B, took a while if they were a symbol, as she always started with the alphabet, then numbers and symbols last!! Always got taxed in the end. Any Post Office, that tax cars, can do this, but I doubt many would!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
