Well time to ask the OOF font of knowledge a question again 😁I have just sold My Insignia and bought a Nissan Pathfinder ( I know but I had reasons for doing this 😏)
I had a private plate on the Insignia which was removed Thursday via dvla and put on retention ready to go on the new (to me)car on Friday morning this was no problem and cost £80
However Friday lunch time when I went to pick up the new car I tried to tax online  it but was unable to do this .
Checking dvla the pathfinder is showing it has my plate on but it is also taxed still which is why I can’t tax it ?
As the number plates have been swapped over neither V5 is correct the Insignia went back to its original number so that will come back to me with that on which I then need to give to the dealer
Which he was ok with ,to me it looks like the V5 ( with the new plate ) for the pathfinder will go to the lady who sold the car I need to send off the new owner section to dvla to get the V5 in my name with the new plate and owner .
So how do I tax the car anyone know , would the post office be able to do , rather than doing it online ? Any ideas any one

Wait till tomorrow and ring DVLA.

Its probably one of those cases where you have to visit your local dvlc office, but as STEMO says, give them a bell tomorrow.

Local DVLA offices were closed about 4 years ago

Modern society hasn't made it to Brakkers yet. Thankfully.

I think you should add STMO to your cull list for being cheeky........assuming he isn't already on it.

I doubt there will be anyone in the office in Swansea either tomorrow!

As said, give them a ring and I'm sure it will soon be sorted. On a side note, I did give you a wave as I went past your place but you were under the bonnet of the Pathfinder. I was in ze white German so you wouldn't have recognised me.

You know what I did see you but I did not realise it was you     until I just read this , I had blown the fuse for the rear lights and was searching for the fuse it only took another couple of hours to find it 
And yes I think I think I will have to give dvla a ring at least it is taxed so won’t flag up

Sounds to me like you have to Tax it as a New Keeper, just because it has your Plates are on it doesnt mean that you own the Car yet on the System, also New Keeper is the only way to Tax a Car that already has Tax on it, unless your trying to Tax again using the NK Slip same 12 digit Ref No. again but it will tell you Online something like 'Application was already Successful' but may not show as Taxed when doing a Online Check, that can take up to 5 days to show.

V5 can be done on line now...

Yep, and it normally updates the System within a few hours now, almost certainly done by next working day. Problem is, the 'Online Tax your Car' seems to be on a Different Data Base and can take up to 5 Days to sort itself out. Post Office now have the Power to Override theses issues since the Local DVLA Offices went down.
