What are the negatives in informing the DVLA your van has been converted please advise

Hello, I have an issue and was wondering if you could help me. I bought a VW Transit from an auction in the Uk which I later found out that has been imported from Australia. The only document that came with the car was a NOVA clearance letter. I problem I have is that I'm trying to apply for a...

Much discussion has taken place over the years regarding the status of vans & conversions with regard to speed limits/tax/insurance etc. There's a wealth of info on the forum - particularly this thread - but it's scattered and fragmented around the forum. So I thought I'd bring it all together...

Ladies / Gents Please excuse me if this seems like a particularly stupid question but as I have just taken possession of my very first VW Kombi ( or any VW for that matter ) straight from the dealer. It states that looking at the V5 section D5 Body Type : VAN/SIDE WINDOWS I thought that it...

Good evening to all the members of the best forum on the internet. I have had a seat fitted in the rear that takes my number of passengers from 3 (panel van) to 5 (camper conversion, Cascade Solace seat). I’ve got the test paperwork and need to notify DVLA, then my insurance company. The DVLA...

Hi guys first post so be gentle ,I've recently put a deposit down on aT6 to replace my 04 T5 really happy with van /seller everything checks out . As I live in Manchester and we have a ulez in some form incoming soon I was keen to have an eu6 van now it is eu6 has adblue and on all 3rd party...

Hi, Not sure if its been posted already (I couldn’t find it) but the licence towing categories are being changed. Basically, those who passed after 1997 no longer need to take an additional test to tow over 750KG...

This is a bit weird, and i have to be careful how i put it, I think I purchased a van that is I believe termed 'pre-registered.. I did not realise until I got the van that this means I don't get the V5 from the lease company. (it's not on lease, I purchased outright), until 11.5 months after...

Could do with some guidance here. I've ordered a T6.1, T30, 150 DSG highline kombi with extra windows in the rear side panels. Speaking with a dealer this morning, he said that I will be liable for £1800 tax in the first year then £500+ each year for the first 5 years after that. All because...

Anybody on here tow a caravan, we are mid caravan change at the moment so were going new van,new caravan, that was our 5.1.

Hi guys, new T6 owner here, I've just got my hands on my new ride, T6 Kombi. Originally a panel van 3 seater. Has been converted to kombi with 2 side windows, tailgate window and now has 6 seats. The place i got it from said i dont need to inform DVLA about the conversion just insurance but...

Noticed when I went to insure the van, it states in the logbook that it has 6 seats, when it clearly only has 5. I suppose I could complain about it being a light goods vehicle also and not an MPV.

I have a 2016 T6 and when I purchased it last year, it had two singles at front and rear bench seat for 3. I went to check my V5 for something today and when looking for the info I needed, I saw that it says it has six seats when I only have 5. Is this right or an error? Anybody know? TIA

Hi, a little help required re the V5. I have recently received my V5 from the DVLA for my T6 which was converted to a campervan by a local company. He sent the docs off with photos etc as per changes to the use etc of the vehicle and the returned V5 in my name just states the Van as a VAN/SIDE...

I’ve seen a vehicle (shuttle) I like that currently sits on a private plate. I ran the reg number on the MOT check on DVLA but it comes up as a Caravelle. The photos show it’s definitely a shuttle. I’m concerned, should I be?

I have added some rear seat/ bed. Is it possible to update this online on the DVLA website or does it have to be done by post? If by post I can see on the DVLA website there are 2 postcodes. Which one do I send it to? Thanks Change vehicle details on a V5C registration certificate (log book)

hi all a while ago I got a letter template from someone to send to the dvla to change my v5! now I've misplaced the letter would anyone happen to have it? I've added kombi seats (cert from the person who fitted them) and its now got windows in the sides and rear barn doors!

So I talked to my neighbour in the pub tonight and the subject of MOT's came up for a reason way too long to go into now, however the long shot is if you have a T32 and it happens to be of a Kombi 4motion flavour then it can go through a class 4 mot because its classed as a multi purpose...

Hi guys, newbie here i have purchased a T32 swb tdi highline dsg panel van in acapulco blue. Just got v5 through last week and it shows as being a T30. Should i be worried ??:unsure:
