I got my new F56 mini about 3 weeks ago, and I traded in an R56 mini. I sent of the slip off the V5 to change ownership and sent off the tax disc to get a refund but haven't received either a refund or a letter to say I am no longer owner of the vehicle. I was just wondering how long it was taking for everyone else

The form says the notification for the old car can take up to four weeks.
I didn't reclaim any tax, but the new tax disc and registration document for the new mini were pretty quick.

New tax disc and V5, took less than a week.

For my clio I sold recently I waited a good 3-4 weeks for "no longer owner" and a week later I got the your car tax is due form lol

I've waited 7 weeks so far. The DVLA are now claiming they have no trace of my sold to dealer slip. You have to leave it 4 weeks before you can chase them.

I think it was around five or six weeks before I got my slip.

My road tax refund took about 3 weeks, and the slip followed a week later.

Slip arrived yesterday... about three weeks.

Mine took 3 weeks as well...didn't occur to me to try for a refund, but as I only had an couple of months to go, anyway, it would probably be more trouble than it's worth for £20. And it's free for the first year, on the MC anyway...

From bitter experience with gov depts I always send this sort of thing registered post so you've the proof it got there! Just don't trust them!

I received both the no longer an owner slip and my tax refund cheque this week. Got the car 4 weeks ago today.
