Informing DVLA - Camper Conversion

[Peterm69uk]

Morning all,

 

having my Vellfire converted at the moment, it was a 7 seater, now a 5 seater, do I have to inform the DVLA or register it under anything else?

 

Cheers

Hi Pete,

 

Our Alphard was registered by the converter under the category of Motor Caravan PLG (Private/Light Goods) as a 4-seater. Of course,this was a new registration in the UK following import. I assume this is a standard registration category, but other contributors will let you know if it's not...

Conversion company says it’s stays as is, an MPV as you state so all good 👍🏼

Our Alphard is registered as 'Body type MPV', and the 'Taxation class' is PRIVATE LIGHT GOODS (PLG). I believe it was registered as this before it was actually converted to a camper van. Since conversion there has been no contact with DVLA to change it, and I further I also believe that there is no requirement from DVLA to do so.

I was advised to inform DVLA via the blue slip (1.) on page 2 of the V5. Simple process, just enter the new number of seats and post off. Got the replacement V5 within 2 weeks.
