Vehicle Registration Document - V5 and DVLA

[nobby]

As non-uk member I have a question.... I have the following details of a bike, found at an enquiry at https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s1.
But does this mean the registration mark is still usable?

Date of Liability	07 11 1996
Date of First Registration	08 05 1951
Year of Manufacture	Not Available
Cylinder Capacity (cc)	500cc
CO2 Emissions	Not Available
Fuel Type	PETROL
Export Marker	N
Vehicle Status	Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour	GREY
Vehicle Type Approval	Not Available

This vehicle can be licensed at a DVLA Local Office without the V5C Registration Certificate

The colour GREY? It is just a Comet, nothing Flash except the colour...

It would look like it, but you may need to take the bike to a DVLA office to prove that it is the correct vehicle, the next problem may be that once they know it exists, it will have to be taxed or SORNed.
You may be able to claim the registration number but put it on retention, but I think there is a regular fee payable for that.

Any Vehicle not used since end 97 does not need to be sorned unless its taxed or has other details altered
