the registered owner as in on a V5 document?
As I believe now it says that its not proof of ownership, but who's responsibility it is to ensure its tax tested and insured?

in court tho would a 2 year old count as been a legal and knowing "responsible person" for a vehicle
No
Probably 14+ as I believe you can drive a tractor - so who says you cant own one?

Very true !
Any age, don't have to put your DOB on V5C so they'll never know.
I'd be surprised if there actually is a minimum age, as anyone can own a car as long as the details are correct in relation to insured driver(s) and it's maintained correctly and MOT'd.
The owner doesn't need a licence.
Finance might be an issue as as far as (that's a lot of as's) insurance is concerned I think it's still the case that the car has to be insured in the name of the person who holds the financial interest. In other words, if I buy the car on finance and MEP insures it in his name, then if it's written off the payout goes into the MEP, No. 2 Swiss Account and I'd be unable to pay off the debt, but that would be a requirement of the finance house.
I had to deal with some travellers once who registered a Transit in the name of Jack Fury. Jack was a dog and the "keeper's" address was a woman who may, or may not, have been an aunt. As it happened this lady in her 70s seemed to own about 7 vehicles. When a VEL or the insurance was due the reminder went there, as did any NIPs or Section 172s. Which then went straight in the bin.
