It's the DVLA who know if it's taxed and to whom it belongs. And it's the DVLA that automatically sends out fines for untaxed vehicles to the last known owner. Plus it's the last known owner who has to pay, not the current one, until the DVLA is informed of the sale and to whom it was sold.
Ditto MOT test and insurance.
I have always said that the tax should be added to fuel, so the more you use, the more you pay. But "urban motorsists" don't like that, and it's often "urban motorists" that have HMG's ear.
