Trading in car with a private plate

[Woof]

Currently my 172 has a private mumber, and in ten days time i am trading it in for a mk2 172.

I transfered the private plate onto the car withou any problems. But this is the first time i have traded in a car with a private plate and im a little unsure what happens and what fees are involved.

Could anyone give me any advice. Is this something the dealer does when we exchange the V5, or should i be doing something proactive in adavnce?

From the DVLA:

How do I transfer my registration mark?
To transfer a registration mark from one vehicle to another you will need to complete a V317 - Transfering a Vehicle Registration Number application form. Application forms can be obtained from DVLA’s network of local offices. The cost of transfer is £80. - this will assign a new number to the car you are taking the plate off and put your plate on another car

How can I retain my registration number?
You will need to complete a V778/1 - Retention of a Vehicle Registration Number application form. Application forms can be obtained from DVLA’s network of local offices. The cost to retain a registration number is £105. - This will also assign a new number to the car you are taking the plate off but I think you will have to pay again to get it onto another car (but I may be wrong on this - Im sure someone will correct me)

no, once you have paid the retention fee of £105, that includes transferring it on to the next car.

Ah ok cool - I stand corrected

Yep, thats right!

£80 transfer

£25 Holding fee for a year

£105 total!

Have always transferred one number to the next. Eighty pounds, should be no problem.

Let the dealer do it.
