If I were to buy a car from either a person or a garage how long does it typically take the DVLA to issue a new V5?

Thanks.

In my experience in last year or so, all 4 V5s i have received within 7-10 days. There were no complications, just straightforward transfers. Much quicker than a few years ago.

Just checked my latest one: purchased bike on 12 May. Seller obviously notified DVLA online (it was a Saturday, no less). I think I got the new paper V5C within 3-4 days. Doc Ref: 12 May...

Daughter bought car a week ago yesterday. (private sale)
Sale registered with DVLA online at purchase.
New V5c turned up yesterday.
Last year daughter in law bought one, v5c was put in post to change owner..... over 6 weeks for new V5c to arrive.
Take your pick but do notify (or get the seller to) DVLA online.

Yeah about 3 or 4 days when I bought my car on a Saturday. Very quick.

When I moved I was closer to 2-3 weeks, although I wonder if that was delayed as I'd only bought the car and recieved the V5 for it a week before moving and changing the address.
