    Yeah I’m totally confused too. The vehicle was given back to the dealer as previous owner didn’t need it anymore, I then managed to have a demo in it and it was perfect so demo report was sent off etc fast forward to Monday just gone when the application was submitted and then yesterday it was approved . Now dealer is saying the vehicle needs to be re-registered in my name by DVLA first before he can bring it he doesn’t know when that will be :/

    I guess maybe it has to do with them bringing it to you and it needing to be registered in your name for them to then apply road tax for the car on you behalf and also that mb are the ones actually buyung the car and hold the v5, you can ask for a copy if needed but they get it.

    I have not gotten a wav via the scehme but usually you have to go and collect the car and enter your pin at the dealers.

    This might be why he cannot put road tax on the car until it is registered to yourself and mb will then get sent the v5 and my guess is maybe as it’s used it is different from new cars and also the fact it’s not a private sale directly to you but to mb.

    I would call Motability up and see what they say about the situation?
