Just tippex it out. If any subsequent buyer asks then it was because the previous buyer couldnt get insurance, couldnt raise the money, etc.

Or didn't like the clouds of black smoke........

I wouldn't buy that car. Sounds very dodgey.

Me too. I'd be very suspicious of anyone giving me a tippex'd V5, regardless of what explanation they gave.

How do you know what he did in those 5 minutes that the car was his?

Depends on the value of the car, an old £500 runaround and they had the rest of the V5 to show me then I'd take a punt.

If it's something for a few K then no.

I had to do it on occasions when i was motor trading - usually for people changing their minds before purchase - never really much of a problem IF the car was otherwise good.

The OP might face an uphill struggle with the blue smoke anyway.
