Venda seu carro em Reino Unido

Vehicle registration across the whole UK (including Northern Ireland) is kept by DVLA in Swansea, and the registered keeper on the log book (V5C) changes when the seller tells DVLA. The single most important step: hand the buyer the green 'new keeper' slip and tell DVLA about the sale with the buyer's full name and address, online or by post. Publicar no MotorHangar é gratuito e leva cerca de três minutos; você não precisa dos documentos para publicar.

Passo a passo

  1. Make sure your log book details are up to date Recomendado

    Before selling, apply to update your log book (V5C) if you have changed your name or address or made changes to the vehicle. If your details are incorrect you may not get a refund for the full months left on your vehicle tax.

  2. Remove a personalised number plate you want to keep Obrigatório por lei

    If the vehicle has a private (personalised) registration number that you want to keep, you must apply to remove it before you sell the vehicle.

  3. Show the log book to buyers, but don't share its reference number Recomendado

    You can show potential buyers your log book so they can check the details match the vehicle. Do not share the log book's document reference number or pictures or copies of it: these can be used to get a fraudulent copy and clone or steal the vehicle.

  4. Give the buyer the green 'new keeper' slip Obrigatório por lei

    When the buyer is keeping the vehicle in the UK, give them the green 'new keeper' slip from the log book (V5C). The slip must come from the most recent V5C; the buyer needs it if they have to apply for a log book with form V62.

  5. Tell DVLA you've sold the vehicle Obrigatório por lei

    You must tell DVLA about the sale and give the buyer's full name and address. Use the free 'Tell DVLA' online service (Mon–Fri 7am–9pm, Sat–Sun 7am–8pm) unless you have already posted the V5C or don't have one; without a log book, write to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA with your details, the registration number, make and model, exact date of sale and the new keeper's name and address.

  6. Get the refund of remaining vehicle tax Recomendado

    Once you tell DVLA, the vehicle tax is cancelled (a Direct Debit stops automatically) and a refund cheque for any full months left is sent automatically to the name and address on the log book. Vehicle tax is not transferred to the buyer.

  7. Buyer taxes and insures the vehicle before driving it Obrigatório por lei Comprador

    The buyer must tax the vehicle before driving it, or declare it off the road (SORN), because the seller's vehicle tax is not transferred with the vehicle.

Vehicle registration and vehicle tax are also handled by DVLA Swansea (so the V5C and the 'Tell DVLA' step are the same), but the MOT is run by the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA): cars are tested from four years old, the DVA issues a paper test certificate that the seller should hand to the buyer, and a duplicate costs £10.

Fique seguro quando compradores entrarem em contato com você

  • Never share the V5C document reference number or photos/copies of the log book; they can be used to obtain a fraudulent log book and clone or steal the vehicle (GOV.UK).
  • Buyers are advised not to pay in cash and to buy at the registered keeper's address shown on the V5 log book (nidirect).
  • Some traders pose as private sellers; buyers from a private seller have fewer legal rights than when buying from a trader (nidirect).
