Cevap

You must tax the vehicle in your own name before driving it on public roads.
Under UK law, vehicle tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) does not transfer to a new owner when a vehicle is bought or sold. Any remaining tax is automatically refunded to the seller, and the new keeper must tax the vehicle in their own name before driving it on public roads.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the change of ownership rule regarding vehicle tax.
Recognise that vehicle tax is non-transferable between keepers under UK law.
When a vehicle is sold, any remaining tax is automatically refunded to the previous registered keeper by the DVLA.
2
Determine the legal requirement for the new keeper before road use.
The new keeper must tax the vehicle immediately before using it on the public highway.
Driving an untaxed vehicle on public roads is illegal unless driving directly to a pre-arranged MOT test.
