Yes I am pretty sure the OR will check with the DVLA to see if you are the registered keeper of a car. However even if you are listed as the registered keeper, as long as your ex gf can prove that she bought it, she shouldn't have any problems.

I am assuming she is the sole user of the car now even though it is in your name?

Definitely don't transfer it to her name - it looks dodgy, like you are trying to transfer an asset. Just explain the same way as you did here, and have the paperwork to prove your gf bought the car.

she is breaking the law if she is the keeper and it is not registered in her name as the insured must be the registered keepr...so her insurance is wrong too...

why didnt she re-register it when she moved out?

and yes, the OR can search the DVLA database and the insurers database too.

thats not actually true anymore, i am the registered keeper and legal owner of our car, but the insurance is in hubbys name with me as named driver. and the insurers are fully aware of this and it is stated on the policy that he is not the keeper or owner.

i am the registered keeper of my car, but my ex husband actually paid for it and had receipt to prove it. This did not make my car exempt though and I still had to pay to keep it

Im sorry but that was wrong of your OR to do so, the registered keeper is not the same as the legal owner, if your ex husband could prove he held the bill of sale, and can prove the funds came from him it was his property so nt an asset of your estate

You had no need to prove it was exempt in such a case

Bit late now I guess! I did tell her during the interview when she asked about the car, but she just said it wasn't exempt and to make her an offer for it

31.2.2 Establish ownership

Any motor vehicle owned by a company in liquidation or a bankrupt (the insolvent) must be dealt with proactively. Vehicles are a source of potential liability and must be dealt with at an early stage. The official receiver should establish the ownership of all motor vehicles the insolvent has use of or which are kept at the insolvent's premises before taking the appropriate action.

A vehicle registration document showing the name of the insolvent is not proof of ownership only proof that the insolvent is the registered keeper of the vehicle. This is however usually a good indication of ownership. In cases of doubt additional evidence of ownership should be obtained from the insolvent and interested third parties regarding the source of the funds which paid for the vehicle or any contract under which the vehicle was purchased.
