You need to have access to the V5C to do that you need the latest issue number off it.Originally posted by ostell View Post
Sorry i'm just thinking out loud, it might be irrelevant, I am not employed in anyway in the legal profession, please ensure you research any advice I give before using it I have been known to be wrong on multiple occasions.Comment

How is he paying?Originally posted by Sally Oakley View Post
Is it direct to a car finance business or did he take out a personal loan in his name to purchase it and he’s been paying them?
When was the car bought?

Just to clarify the importance of R v Turner
R v Turner (No 2) [1971] 1 WLR 901 Court of Appeal
The defendant took his car in to a service station for repairs. When he went to pick it up he saw that the car was left outside with the key in. He took the car without paying for the repairs. He was liable for theft of his own car since the car was regarded as belonging to the service station as they were in possession and control of it.
