I’ll try and keep this as short as possible
I gave my car to my wife in February which I had bought from central Birmingham feb 2019 a six month old gls 350 ( before you start they stopped making amazons and there was no way I was having another Range Rover ) fast forward to yesterday and my wife said she had a spoof email about the tax so I checked the DVLA and blow me the car had not been taxed since February Twelve months after I bought the car !!
so a healthy discussion started between me and the bride about been responsible and looking after the car , four hours later I gave up looking for the log book as it wasn’t with my others as I keep them in one place , rang DVLA this morning to tax it turns out that the car was never registered in my name and still in the original owners name eighteen months earlier , managed to tax the car from the VIN ,spoke to Mercedez-Benz today after leaving half a dozen messages and they wanted me to sort the problem where I calmly told him not a fucking chance hopefully sorted now but my insurance would have been void possibly just never got a tax reminder so the both of us thought that the other had taxed it go figure lucky escape!!
