wrong reg

Post by FarmerPug »

i recently discovered this, i needed new front callipers for my suzuki, i asked on the suzuki forum, but they needed my vin, i checked it in the log book and thought nothing of it. But now on closer inspection I've noticed the log book says OIW4002, and the number plates i have and the pictures of the jeep when i got it say MIW4002 :?:
I just renew the SORN every year and its very very unlikely that it will go back near a road, but should i care about this error?

nope. i wouldnt. isnt there a way to tell DVLA that the vehicle is now on farm land .
is it petrol or diesel ? once DVLA have been informed of its use they will allow red diesel to be used in it .

Its a petrol, i tried that farm land thing you can go on the roads about a mile without the need for tax but the thing still must have a valid mot which my yoke has no chance of getting.

I didn't think agricultural vehicles had to be MOTd?

State of some of the Massey Fergusons I've seen...

Last winter they said you can drive further if you are rescuing someone from the snow, seeing as it was the worst winter on record.

I would be concerned that you've got fake plates.

i have no idea who i bought the suzuki off, i remember he was an old man sold it from his house, he had it and a range rover classic for sale, he said he only used the suzuki for towing a fishing boat, there was definatley no reason to sell a cloned car.
The thing about the jeep is, its no longer a 1.3 its a 1.6 so that would also make it different?
