You purchase a used car from a motor dealership. Which part of the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) should the trader give you to keep until your new certificate arrives from the DVLA?

  1. A
    The yellow section used for motor trade transfers
  2. B
    The complete original vehicle registration document
  3. The green 'new keeper' supplement slipAnswer
  4. D
    The tear-off slip that notifies your motor insurance provider

Answer

The green 'new keeper' supplement slip (V5C/2)
When buying a vehicle from a registered motor trader or dealership, the trader notifies the DVLA of the change of keeper and hands the green 'new keeper' supplement slip (V5C/2) to the buyer. This slip acts as temporary documentation and allows the new keeper to tax the vehicle immediately while the DVLA produces and posts the updated registration certificate.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the transaction type and roles involved in the vehicle transfer
A motorist is purchasing a vehicle from a commercial motor dealer.
Vehicle transfer rules distinguish between what the commercial seller retains and what is handed to the customer.
2
Determine the specific portion of the V5C designated for the incoming registered keeper
The green 'new keeper' slip (V5C/2) is the designated section for the buyer.
The dealer registers the sale with the DVLA, while the customer requires the V5C/2 reference number immediately to tax the vehicle.
