Re-registration fee

Hi all,
Have been used car searching today - almost bought the last one we saw but a couple of things gave us cold feet so the search continues.
One of the salesmen mentioned an additional re-registration fee of £42 + VAT, he wouldn't elaborate on what the fee actually covered and I can't find any info online - can anyone explain this fee to me?
Thanks in advance!
GIAH

    its more technical term is give us the wonga to pay for us to send the paperwork to dvla off
    its a scam to take more money off you
    they have to do the paperwork by law so it should be in the price youve paid or walk away
