    Date of liability means the MOT. I'm guessing anyway as 1st August came up for my car and its MOT is due then.

    Tax isn't due till June (end of)


    Date of liability is for the RFL, not the MOT, it is a DVLA site not an MOT site, DVLA do not do MOT's.

    I went onto the site yesterday and it states in the bottom R/H corner; - "Site last updated: 27/02/2009" So it is nearly 2 months out of date, after phoning the DVLA to inform them of this, the response was useless and they could not care less.

    Hi i have literally just brought a vaxhal astra and have check online to see what information is held on the car before i bring it back.It is saying that the car is unlisenced does anyone no what this means?and whether i am likely to end up with a huge bill if i try and tax it?
    Thank you

    This usually means that the vehicle is not taxed or Sorned and the, (previous?), owner could be liable for an automated fine of £80. Although this should not be you if you have a receipt stating when you purchased it.

    Road Fund Licence, car tax!

    Or as some pedantics may want to call it,(the newer version of the term), VEL = Vehicle Excise Licence.

    i've been looking at a car and did the check and it says
    Date of Liability 01 05 2010
    which from what i can gather here is the tax, but its been advertised as not having tax??

    this is my first car and everything is getting kind of confusing!

    I would assume they are planning to get a refund on the tax when the car is sold.

    Would anyone please explain what this means?

    Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) Marker VIC required

    Does this mean that the vehicle has been a write-off and that I must check the details?
