This new system seems to be a bit of a b*lls up isn't it?
Is there any way you can check online that the road fund has been paid and is active?
Basically I am breaking the law but it is entirely the fault of the DVLA ...
It was the dealer that was breaking the law, if you are going to retain the plate you can not sell the vehicle until it has been re-registered.I am in a nightmare situation at the moment
I bought the Goldwing from a dealer a week and a half ago
It had been on a private plate ..
The dealer has sent off the paperwork and as a dealer he knew what the new reg number was gonna be and made up a new plate for the bike
I still have nothing from the DVLA though.. Which means I am neither able to tax it or sorn the thing.. ( although it does have an MOT apparently and I insured it even before it arrived )

I fell foul of this a few years ago when I brought a vehicle that had been on a private plate, got a right load of grief from DVLA, finally got it sorted at a local office, thank goodness it was a few years ago when we had local offices.
Have checked and my vehicles are ok however the colour of my MH is incorrect. No sunrise really as it was wrong from day 1. Brand new van, metallic blue from manufacturer yet listed as white. I advised the DVLA by returning the V5 when I received it but they wouldn't accept my word, said the manufacturer had to inform them. Needless to say I have kept a copy of their letter and it is in the van just incase Mr plod stops me.
that will not matter a jot to themBasically I am breaking the law but it is entirely the fault of the DVLA ...
Well I have tried all three vehicles that we have - all have valid mot's, insurance and road tax but none come up - details unknown! Is it the website as it's beta version at present.

Liked you post Daniel but only cos there is no option to offer commiserations mate !!
Tell me about it !!that will not matter a jot to them![]()
... but the base chassis is still a Fiat and that is what is registered, not the body sat on it.Just entered my MH reg number and answered Knaus to the manufacturer, result - Unknown!
Re-entered the same reg number and Fiat to the manufacturer this time it was recognised. The concept of an integrated A class is beyond the system![]()
There are no words to describe the Dvla. There are, but not printable here but I have certainly used them all both on the phone & in emails to them over the last few years . They were absolutely useless & completely lazy when we first shipped the dvla down there to spread out the jobs. It really wanted burning down then.
Now it has metamorphosed into a stasi like , government money-making organisation that is still absolutely useless but now for different reasons & still wants torching.
You wouldn't mind if they actually knew what they were doing but in email replies 9 out of 10 don't even answer what was asked & any that do ,can't/won't commit themselves. Or in many cases they answer questions that you never asked ?
I'm fortunate in that if I have a query with them that becomes a problem ( that is normally every time ) I can use the EU's cross-border SOLVIT system & get them to whip some life into the useless tossers.
Absolute scum , glad I only have to deal with them occasionally & not much at all now.
Another lot that are nearly as bad are Boris's LEZ mob. Not the ones who answer the telephone,who are basically very helpful but can actually do nothing & are really a line of defence like the old 'Attendance allowance' people put in place to placate the plebs that they didn't want to speak to.
No,the ones who vet everything - I'm sure that they are tied up with if not part of, the Dvla as the exhibit the same " we are right" mentality . Even when they have been proved wrong.
Well that's this afternoon's rant off me chest !![]()
