I just tried to apply my private plate to my car online which I have done before (it's far better and much quicker than the old way), but it would not let me. It failed and said I need to ring them. Worryingly, I called expecting the worse. They said it was just because that at some time in the last 5 years, it was untaxed for 90 days or longer, and that I need to fill in the form the old way and send it in with my V5. I don't see why this should matter. Surely so long as it is currently taxed, it should be fine? Anyone else had this?

I am not sure what they do now? I don't want to have to pay back-pay for vehicle tax from the previous owner !
 
I had the same.
My car had been on SORN for nearly a year at the time
 
Ok thanks. Posted it this evening, so hopefully it will all be ok and back in a couple of weeks
