I'm pretty sure if its registered its normally actually at the dealers. I'm a bit surprised as at registration I thought they had to tax it as well. It could be that the dealer had targets to meet before the end of the month.
It can be assigned a registration No by the dealer. It won't be registered with DVLA until you've paid for it. You can ask for this registration with DVLA to be delayed within reason if it suits you. Once registered you currently will receive your V5 in post about five days later.
Breeze online portal? What’s that all about then?
Which would make sense as otherwise you're already eating into the 12 months VED!
They provide Tax for a year + 1 week so that they can supply before month end and you don’t loose any of the 1yr Tax period
Really!!! Screwed the plates on?
Yep, which I wasn’t too happy about!
Is this not normal these days? My last few new cars have all have screwed on plates?
It’s the portal you e-sign all the documents through. It contains details about your vehicle. Yes it’s been assigned a reg then, not registered yet.
This is exactly what I discovered when I switched out the Belgian plates for German. The latter is wider so needed a new plate holder bezel. When I removed the plate holder I discovered the dealer had used 2 self tapping screws directly into the door sheet metal creating 2 new holes without any anti corrosion treatment. Was not impressed.
The transporter has M6 rivnuts installed on the tailgate to take number plate machine screws. Not used on yours??
No and that's what p!ssed me off the most. Apparently it was the Belgian importer that did this and not the selling dealer in Amsterdam.
Impressive and great news, but adds yet more confusion as to why orders with EuroVans seem to be taking so much longer. Bizarre.
I don’t know I think it’s just random. Ours is pretty standard spec but in the most popular colour (Indium) so maybe that makes a difference. Even Jamie was surprised it‘s in the UK - it’s even been allocated a reg number as of this morning. If Jamie wasn’t on holiday next week I think we’d be collecting even sooner.
Yours is an Ocean I think? I wouldn't have thought the paint colour makes that much difference, but who knows.I don’t know I think it’s just random.

My mother in law is coming to stay for a month from July, so the Cali will become my hidey hole
It’s the only one still ordable but I think they still have a backlog of a year plus for T6.1s, before I swapped it for my Cali order in April I had a LWB panel van on order since August 2022 and hadn’t even been allocated a build slot. Some people who have had 4Motion Sportlines on order have been waiting for them since 2021 and keep being pushed back.
More likely because EV have so many orders it‘a taken them longer to process them. They seem to have gone for the high volume of orders but lower profit per order model like a lot of online sales sites.
Yes, but there are 99 used T6.1 Oceans for sale on Autotrader alone!
