I’m glad, you have officially sorted firs year VED, rather than just took my word for it
Nominated driver, when you think makes alot of sense when you think of it (not everyon can or is able to drive) and is how disabled VED was applied to our private vehicle.

I didn’t want to get to registration day and find that I couldn’t buy the car as £25k worth of VAT and VED was suddenly added to the bill 😱😂
When I queried why I was told last time that my wife would have to be the registered keeper, he said that they usually advise this as it’s simpler and less dealers query it, but it is the dealers responsibility to VAT and VED exempt the vehicle at the point of registration (you can’t claim it back if you pay it), so if the dealer is satisfied that the nominated driver (and owner) is buying the car having legitimately met the criteria, then HMRC are satisfied that the nominated driver can also be the registered keeper. DVLA take the same approach when it comes to VED (at least their guidelines make that clear – unlike HMRC).
