Seriously though its absolutely bloody ridiculous, charging the public to give information, whatever next.

DVLA are good at charging for things. If your car is decalred a CAT C right off they want the log book V5c back. You get the car road worthy and then charge you £19(?) to get back what they asked you for in the first place.  :o

be aware guys some manufactures will take a car off the production line (or in the case of imports) the transporter and use unregerstered round the factory or manifacturing plant ,then, they would be cleaned and regerstered and put on the demo fleet. rover and ford did this quite often and a friend at toyota at derby reckons it happens there too.  ;) oh and a VOSA vic check costs £36 after you pay £19 to get the v5c back!!!

I don't really have a gripe with VOSA charging for their time & effort testing the car, but the V5C is something that DVLA ask back & then charge you for something you already had.  :-?

It's called Administration Fee and it is used to pay the salaries of various administrators. You wouldn't want them to go hungry, wouldn't you? After all. they have to provide for their families. So there.

Having been in a VRO for hours trying to register a kit car. No, I wouldn't want them to go hungry.....


I'd want to do the job properly and let them starve, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool. ;D
