Sold car to trader - V5 sent to me

[PRM1]

Hi
Just before Christmas I part exchanged a car for our ML270 (which is fantastic)

Signed the yellow slip sent to DVLA who replied to confirm they know we have sold the car to the trader.

Trader has sold the car and the new owner has sent us the V5 for us to sign.

Do we have to sign this as we sold the car to the trader not him?

Should we sent it signed or unsigned?

When we purchased the M class we just kept the small green slip and sent the V5 into DVLA to change the keeper details.

I very much expect the trader never filled in the V5. As long as you sent off your part when you sold the car to the trader and the new owners sent off thier bit when they bought it I see no reason why you would need to do anything further.

Trader probably kept his name off it so as not to appear as another owner.

Traders are exempt from being owners when filling out the V5C.

As above completely, you do not have to sign anything, there is just some slip up somewhere.

did you sign and send off your part when you sold the car?
I suspect you didn't which is why the new owner is chasing it.
If you did then don't worry about it.

Many thanks for the replies.

Yes sent our slip to DVLA and had confirmation back.

I will just send the V5 in the post and forget about it.
