The answer options
- The car service record
- The owner's manual
- The vehicle registration document (V5C)Correct
- The dealer's details
Why that is the answer
You should never leave the vehicle registration document (V5C) in an unattended car. If your vehicle is stolen, leaving the V5C inside makes it significantly easier for a thief to sell the car fraudulently or claim legal ownership. While items like the owner's manual or service record are useful to keep in the glovebox, official ownership documentation should always be stored securely at home, as advised by DVSA guidance.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from safety and your vehicle appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
