Transfered my Private plate from old car to new car, recieved new tax and MOT through the post, but no log book, waited 4-6 weeks still no log book.
Phoned DVLA only to hear that the transaction has been refused 
Nice of them to let me know, been driving round illegally for a month and not known.
Now they want me to drive back down to the 'local' DVLA office which is 2 hours away(£40 petrol) again so that they can inspect the car 
Not only that i have to be there before 9.30

Shrewsberry, probally about an hour and 15 mins but at that time in the morning and the A50 roadworks 2hours is reasonable

Cant you send a new MOT certificate that has been issued after your plates have been put back on to them to prove your plates are legal? Rather than go driving all that way?
