V5 Address change

Greensprout

I moved house about 3 years ago but never got round to changing the address on my V5 log book.

Does it make a difference? Would it be a get out clause for insurance companies to pay out?

(The old address is my parents, they still live there so I can get post etc)

My insurer asks for the postcode the car will be kept at (not necessarily yours) so theres a possiblility it could invalidate your insurance.
Inlaws keep their car in a lockup at a local garage and supply that postcode to the insurance company.

My car is insured at my home address not the parents.

You may get into trouble by the dibble for not having it in the correct address if you were to get stopped by one using an ANPR thingy. What address is your insurance at as the dibble could cross reference these and you could end up in deep trouble.

However, my car is reg'd and insured at my parents address, yet I moved out some 4 years ago lol.

If you were caught by a ANPR camera for speeding and the ticket came in the post to you, it may not reach you.

If the ticket did not reach you and you failed to pay on time, they could and in most cases will summons you to court, this you would also not reach.

You are committing an offence by not advising DVLA within a reasonable amount of time of a change of address and 3 years, is far far more than a reasonable amount of time ;0
