V62 form at the post office
I did it recently with my wife's V5 we didn't have one or receive one from the dealer when we bought the car in 2016 pretty sure I did it on line.
Vehicle registration
How to register your vehicle and the cost - new registrations, kit cars, rebuilds, radically altered vehicles, old and classic vehicles, vehicle identification numbers, Q plates

I've spoken to Yvette at SCS and booked a transporter to take the 500 there tomorrow - £104, which I thought was ok.
Fingers crossed the car hasn't got too many issues!

Join the AA with recovery option, then wait a couples of days and then make out it’s just broken down and get it recovered back to home. She gets a lift then as well. Cost should be cheaper that way. Only problem is explaining the rusty brake discs. I bought a mini with a knackered gearbox that way, was gonna tow it home but realized when i got there gearbox was locked so wouldn’t tow. Didn’t cost me a penny from Hereford to Leicestershire
If she doesn’t want to travel back with it she can just send it unaccompanied
With no v5c..Join the AA with recovery option, then wait a couples of days and then make out it’s just broken down and get it recovered back to home. She gets a lift then as well.

It's probably untaxed
With a v62 form, as long as its mot's and insured you can tax the car, also you'll get a new V5 form though it will cost £25 on top of the cost of taxing it.With no v5c..

You will be in good hands and receive an honest appraisal
Wrapping this up with a positive recommendation for SCS, they were excellent at keeping in touch with me, proceeding in good faith (bearing in mind they never met me, I was just a voice on the phone) and discussing all the work in detail with prices in advance.
My daughter now has her car back and is delighted with it. I know it is safe again and would happily use SCS for her car's further maintenance and MoT in due course.
Thanks to everyone who commented and offered advice, it is much appreciated.

This is great news; I'm glad it's worked out well, and that your daughter has decided to keep the car.
