Robert1234 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just received a letter from the DVLA saying the vin number on the car doesn't match the one on the documents. I bought the car around a month ago, I need to know if there is anywhere else on the car where the vin is marked. ASAP thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My 88 Exclusive has this - the number on the logbook is slightly different to the one on the car (I seem to remember the one on the car has a suffix, an extra 2 letters or something) MOT station flagged it and I got a new matching logbook from the DVLA a couple of weeks later.

Robert1234 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) It's the 86 GT/E coupe which is up in the for sale section (the one posted by paul manta) The one on the car has 0000 in it which matches up to the newest MOT. But the old MOT's have 000 and an L on the end like on the V5. Thanks Rob Edited November 17, 2011 by Robert1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert1234 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Can anyone else apart from Leon shed some light on this please? Obviously it's quite worrying. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert1234 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 You have seen the one under the carpet flap between the drivers seat and sill? I seem to remember a lot started WOL............. I have checked that one just. It's the same as on the front grille (0000) How did this issue come to light? Have the dvla seen the car?? From it's newest MOT it doesn't match the logbook, so the DVLA wrote to me. No they haven't seen the car. I don't fancy a visit from them either! Chortle.

Dave750rs Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 This happened to me with an evo rally car and i filled in the form with the VIN number as was on the car the and DVLA then sent me out a new document with the correct VIN number on it no car check so it was hassle free It to was flagged up after an MOT Hope this helps Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It's been a long time but the MOT guy didn't read one off the painted trim plate not the Silver one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My letter from the DVLA didn't say they needed me to fill in a form though, they just said a new V5C would be issued (and it was) following a discrep noted in the MOT.
