I always get them to fill out the V5 before they leave, then *I* can
send it off, after taking a photocopy. That way you have some clue of
who the vehicle is being sold to, and that the V5 has been sent off,
thus ensuring DVLA have been notified. I have taken a photocopy of
V5's ever since I sent one off for a vehicle I bought, phoned up DVLA
8 weeks later to ask where the V5 was. Not recieved was their answer.
Fill out form such and such and send it in to us along with some money
and we'll process it. Went into local DVLA office with the new
keepers part which I still had, and created hell. They dealt with it,
photocopied and advised when sending off V5's to photocopy them, as
you would not believe how many get lost......
