Advice asked for - mismatch on first registration date vs reg

[VeegasS4]

All

Just a quick but of advice if I can.

I've enquired about a car for sale (C6 RS6) which is listed privately.

It's on a 58 plate, but when I've done a basic HPI check it's showing as first registered with the DVLA in Jan 2011.

Before going back to the seller, has anyone else come across this? It didn't show as an import vehicle on the check but why else ( apart from a DVLA error) could cause this?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Dr G - thanks very much, just dropped you a PM

Kell; it's definitely a C6 and its on a 58 plate, it's just the HPI report that is indicating that it was first registered in the UK in Jan 2011, hence the confusion!

Yeah - right hand drive and UK spec.

That was exactly what it was, Isle of Man car, moved to the UK in Jan 2011 - unfortunately still shows as the £500pa tax banding though!

Just to finish off the thread, decided not to go with the car above in the end, but I'm on the way today to pick up the new steed today - couldn't be any more excited!
