Selling a car with Disabled tax

[fiesata]

My father in law has applied for a notability car.

He already gets nil duty disabled road fund licence on his own car.

The motability car will come with road fund licence from the outset,he wants to sell his car but one question is baffling us - he obviously has send the road fund licence back on his car but how will the new owner be able to tax it without a V5 or could my father in law tax it (paid for by him) prior to selling - but then he would have to send in the V5 to change taxation category, and couldn't then sell the car - has anyone experience of doing this as I can't seem to find the answer anywhere - am I missing something?

Thanks

Paul

Your fil can tax it for 6 months plg when he puts it up for sale.

Forgot to say he should go to his local DVLA, change use and tax it at the same time. Be aware it will take a couple of weeks for the log book to be returned to him.

My last car had been classed as disability for tax. When I bought it I took all the paper work to my local DVLA office and they reclassified it and sold me a new tax disc. I wasn't able to do it until a couple of days after I got the car, but there was no problem with it and it took half an hour or so at the offices.

if he owns the current car, should he not have the V5 form?

when the new buyer buys the car, they fill out the taxation class on the log book as private, leave the tax on it, I sold a disabled vehicle to a non disabled buyer when I phoned dvla, they told me to just leave the tax on the car.

Thanks for the speedy replies
Can this be done at a main Post Office? I remember when he changed to disabled tax a couple of years ago I went to the Post Office with him and they did this and sent the log book off for him

I was told it had to be done at a dvla office, not a post office.

Thanks for that it does seem it's DVLA offices only
