Buying a scooter without a V5
Options
Hi
New here so hello everyone.
Been looking at a Scooter on ebay, but the seller has not got the V5 for the scooter.
I have done a HPI check and it came back ok.
The seller says he hasn't got time to send off for the V5 as he needs a quick sale.
Should I steer clear of this, or is it possible for me to obtain the V5 after.
Many thaks

Give it a miss. Or expect the police to seize it.0

The V5 only tells you who the registered keeper is, which is not the same as the legitimate owner. You can apply for one after, but it takes time - DVLA will write to the registered keeper, ask if the change of ownership is correct, and eventually send the new V5 to you.
I'd steer clear. He should have the V5, especially if he wants a quick sale.0 -
i would assume he stole it. give it a miss unless it's money you can afford to lose.
