As there is NO buyer or seller protection relating to vehicles, I think it is correct to say the answer is NO.

It sounds as though you may be valuing your DVLA personalised vehicle registration certificate as the £10k value placed on the personal registration number to which it refers.

If so, you may be worrying about nothing. The DVLA web sits sets out the procedure to be followed to obtain a duplicate certificate if the original is lost.

If you haven't done so already, it would be worth checking this out. Neither eBay nor any insurance company would pay out for the loss of a document for which a copy could easily be obtained.

You'll need to find a delivery service that will offer you protection against your certificate getting lost, Royal Mail services won't cover an item for that amount.
