Mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs in 鈥榗lass 3鈥� or not in a class must be registered with DVLA.听

You do not need to pay vehicle tax if your vehicle is registered with DVLA as a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair.

You may also need to insure your mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, depending on its weight.

Registering a new mobility scooter or powered wheelchair

The dealer will usually register a brand new mobility scooter or powered wheelchair for you.

If the dealer will not do it, you can register the vehicle yourself by filling in form V55/MV.

You鈥檒l get a new vehicle log book (V5C) in the post within 4 weeks of the sale.听

Registering a used mobility scooter or powered wheelchair

A used mobility scooter or powered wheelchair should already be registered when you buy it.

Check whether it鈥檚 registered by either:

• asking the seller

If it鈥檚 not registered, you can register the vehicle yourself by filling in form V55/MV.

You鈥檒l get a new vehicle log book (V5C) in the post within 6 weeks of the sale.听

If your log book (V5C) does not arrive聽

If you do not get a new vehicle log book, fill in an 鈥楢pplication for a vehicle registration certificate鈥� (V62) and send it to DVLA.

Change your name or address

If you need to change your name or address, fill in section 6 of your vehicle log book and send it to DVLA.

Insurance

You do not need insurance for a class 2 or class 3 mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, although it鈥檚 recommended.

You must insure your vehicle if it鈥檚 not in a class because its total weight is heavier than 254kg. The total weight does not include any equipment attached.
