Changes to the Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C)


Changes to the Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C)

From 15th April 2019 the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) changed the long-standing logbook that we have all learnt to instantly identify. The redesign was initially discussed and agreed following a review in 2016.

The newly-designed document that outlines the ownership of a vehicle has been simplified to improve the customer’s experience.

Don’t worry, even though a new version has been issued, any previous versions, no matter how old, will still be valid. As a result of the changes, the GOV.UK website has been amended to co-inside with the alterations and references.

Front Cover

·        The address and name on the front cover has been moved to the top.
·        Multi-coloured guidance section has been added to the bottom.
·        Enforcement message has been added to the front.
·        The words ‘Don’t share, keep it safe’ have been added to the front along with the document reference number.
·        Date of acquisition has been moved to below the document reference number.

Internal

·        Section 5 (permanently exporting this vehicle for more than 12 months) – country of export field has been added.
·        Section 6 (new keeper’s slip) – name and address fields removed.
·        Customers can now supply contact details.
·        Change of keeper and change of name and address have been separated.
·        The vehicle details have been rearranged to the top half of the page to create extra room.

Throughout

·        Back page of the English document has been left blank.
·        Welsh version is on one side and English on the other to simplify the layout and experience.
·        Signature boxes removed and replaced with declarations in red.
·        Data capture boxes introduced for accuracy and simplification.
·        Simplified instructions.
·        V5CW – serialised across the three pages that are V5C issuing sections.
·        V5C – serialised on the front cover and back page that are document issuing.
·        Document reference number has been added to each section.
·        Perforations have been changed on the last page.

We have already seen a number of these logbooks pass through our hands which we have scanned over and agree, it is a much simpler document and easier to use. The instructions are laid out in an easy-to-read format allowing for fewer mistakes. Overall, a job well done!

Top 6 Pickup Offers | Swansea, South Wales

Top 6 Pickup Offers in Swansea, South Wales A pickup has an open cargo area with low sides and a tailgate separated from the driver and passengers by the enclosed cab area. Since the 1950’s these vehicles were primarily a work tool with very few creature comforts. Today, less than 15% of owners have reported that they use their pickup for any sort of wok purposes. We have compiled this list of the Top 6 Pickup offers to be as transparent as possible to our customers. These pickup deals are all based on Business Contract Hire agreements with 9 advance rental payments followed by 47 monthly repayments. Unlike many other brokers, we advertise a realistic mileage allowance so for this exercise we have opted for 15,000 miles per annum.

Ford extend payment holidays until September

Image
Ford of Britain have decided to extend its offering of six-month payment holidays to new van buyers in a bid to keep customers buying new commercial vehicles during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is called the Ford ‘Peace of Mind’ programme and was initially launched to run through April and May of this year but they soon decided to extend it until the end of June. Premier Commercial Vehicles can now confirm that the programme is set to run until the end of September 2020. The scheme allows customers to defer the first three payments (after they part with the initial deposit) of their finance agreement. Then the following three payments will be covered by Ford in one single payment, capped at £750 - £1,600, depending on which vehicle the customer has. Something also worth noting is that buyers of Ford vans (including the Ford Transit Custom and large Transit that are available with 0% APR) can opt out of paying anything for the first six months of the finance agreement. This is onl...
