Bought car from small trader- How to register purchase?
Hi. Last couple of cars I have bought I have only been given the V5C/2 part of the V5C document.

Not sure if in the right thread - but hear goes. Bought a Audi A1 in November last year from a Audi Franchise - it had 2500 on the clock and was six months old.
