FridgeFreezer Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Being the good citizen that I am, when I moved house I sent my driving licence & the V5 for the Nissan off to the DVLA to get the address changed. Got a letter today telling me the Nissan has been notified as damaged by the insurance company and I will need a Vehicle Identity Check! I wouldn't mind (I bought it as accident damaged) but when I got it I had to go to the DVLA office to register it and specifically asked if it needed a VIC and was told it was fine. That was the best part of 18 months ago, and it's been through two MOT's since then aparrently they only send out letters when something else prompts them, like sending the V5 off So basically they're saying they're too lazy to send you a letter if they think your car is a ringer or could be unsafe even when the insurance co write to them and tell them. Most annoying part is they won't give me back my V5 unless I get the (£20) identity check, which is a bad luck as I'm just about to get rid of the bl**dy thing anyway and am not about to spend any money on it. Anyone want a big ugly blue shed / banger racer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Update: I got the V5 from the DVLA today, aparrently if you wait a couple of months they get bored and send you the V5 for the vehicle even though, officially, they're not sure of it's real identity or roadworthiness Bit suprising since I sold it a good while ago! Good old DVLA, I'm so glad my road tax is used so wisely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
