Looking at buying a new car for my girlfriend Went and had a look at one last night and all seemed good think I might go for it. However on the Direct gov dvla thing it says the car was manufactured in 2000 but was registered in 2004. However it is on an X plate. Could it be an error on there database or am I being daft?
I've blanked out the reg plate so noone jumps in front of me and steals it
You can buy a car without registering it when new, I think they charge for registration and plates when you 1st buy a brand new car, maybe it wasn't registered until 04? What's the milage of said vehicle Phil?
You can buy age related reg plates that will put a standard looking reg i.e. 2 letters, 2 number, 3 letters on a car and it will still be an older car. OR if a car has come from Ireland and had its plates change in this country, it will get a plate related to the year it was changed and not manufactured. I had a 1995 Peugeot 106 that had a X reg plate on it.
