Does the V5 mean absolute ownership of a vehichle??? and in what terms

 

a log book only makes you the registered keeper not the owner of the vehicle

 

so how do you prove ownership??

 

Receipt saying you've bought and paid for it......

 

But how can you prove you never sold it?

If that was true all it would take would be to sell it to someone without a reciept (ie most private sales), and you can claim it back.

Seems to me nobody really knows, and are just guessing.

 

yes thats what i thought even producing up to date tax insurance etc, but seems its not that way

 

I think a V5 is not worth the paper its written on

 

Well thats it. Thats why 99% of the population use the V5 as proof of ownership. It states on the form that it does not prove ownership.

BUt in court the V5 does not prove ownership. But like you say, try proving you haven't sold it when someone else has the V5....

 

well what happens when you both have a V5 and it has been sold on?

 

Id like to know from a solicitor the deal here.

Someone has V5, keys, etc etc.

Someone else claims its theirs, and has reciept from when they bought it years ago, and prob the old V5 too.

Who hell would win? How can one prove they bought it, or the other prove they didnt sell it, seeing as neither has proof, and the other person has the keys and the V5.

I dont get it.

 

Me neither but its possible, I would like to know what a solicitor would make of this
