hi, ive recently bought a new car and wasnt given the log book for it ive sent off for a new one but have been told it takes upto 6 weeks for it to arrive so is there any way i can phone the DVLA office like in a week or so to check if its been processed and if i can tax the car at a DVLA office since ill be the new registered keeper on their system? previous owners were a company called mobility so i dont know if i should contact them if theyve recieved a tax reminder so i can tax it with that along with insurance and mot certificates?

    If it was a MFL car then the tax class will need to be changed at a LVLO, not the DVLA/Post Office.

    If the DVLA have issued a replacement then it will go to Smackability, I mean Motability at either their Bristol address:

    Motability Operations
    Bristol Park House
    610 Bristol Business Park
    Coldharbour Lane
    Bristol BS16 1EJ.

    or their London address:

    Motability Operations
    City Gate House
    22 Southwark Bridge Road
    London
    SE1 9HB

    Try ring DVLA up and chasing them.

    At the same time they may be able to advise you if they have received the paper work etc to send you a new V5 Logbook :)
