if you buy a car without any documents is it possible to see if it has any mot left or do you just have to get a new one???

 

With the electronic MOT system now its possible to buy a replacement ( you could before but you had to visit the issuing garage and know when tested). Im not sure whether any MOT testing station can supply the duplicate, but your local VOSA testing station (ministry HGV testing) will certainly be able to provide one.

You can just check online at www.motinfo.gov.uk/ if you have the V5C reference number.

 

MOT Information - Introduction

 

Arent both of the above posts missing the point? The OP ststaes that he has bought a vehicle without documents, so he wont have the MOT nor the V5 reference numbers required.

 

Would that be why I said you could do it if you have the V5 reference??? It only needs to be the new keepers supplement or some part of an old one to have the reference. Neither of us know what is or isn't available.

 

I take 'without any documents' to mean: without any documents.

 

Who would buy a car without a v5?

 

I haven't got any docs for the car but have applied for the v5 so hopefully that will be here soon and i will check out the above links

I bought the car from someone i know so hopefully i should be ok
