I've never had any bother, John, always received my disc within 3 or 4 days. However, as I say, I always do it in plenty of time. Maybe they have a problem late in the month with a glut of people leaving it to the last minute.just shows DVLA have no confidence in their 5 day turnaround for online tax applications. oh:

Many people have to do it at the last minute, as the insurance renewal is at the end of tax month, or the MOT hasn't passed yet due to waiting for parts.
I had a Peugeot 107 where the insurance renewed on the 28th,so you couldn't submit your application until then. The tax was so low, you weren't allowed to ask for 6 months to put it out of sync. The tax was always late. Having insurance or MOT in the same month as tax is a nightmare.

it always was an unwritten, but generally accepted, rule you had 14 days grace.
computerisation buggered everything up......i used to carry the completed documents and a cheque in the glovebox........get stopped and just say you're going to the post office to buy it.
usually got 13 months for the price of 12.

14 days grace? It never existed! Just a public misconception.
If you're stopped for an expired VEL it is reported by the police to the DVLA, and it is THEY, the DVLA that have to authorise any prosecution. If you have already paid for your VEL they will take no action. (You could display your expired disc for 14 days IF you renewal has been paid, and your new disc is "in the post", "on top of the fridge" etc etc. etc.
.......13 months for the price of 12??!! No chance, they're not that daft!! Any gaps, and they will sting you for the back-tax!

Just surrender your current tax disk after six months and renew for twelve
