No. It took 6 months for the DVLA to mark the change. V5 was sent back at the time of sale - it went unprocessed for 6 months for unknown reasons.
My duty was fulfilled when I sent it back and despite the DVLA saying phone us after 4 weeks to chase it up, that has no legal standing and besides I was in the middle of moving house at the time.
When the new V5 arrived in August it showed the change of RK as the 28 February which is correct.
So from that date on I had no obligation towards the vehicle.
In any event, the car was covered by insurance by the new owner from the 28th February onwards and I have documentation to prove it.
Words fail me, I can't believe how awkward and stupid the DVLA are.
