If I check the MID on AskMID for my registration number, the vehicle details come out as a Land Rover Range Rover and not the Toyota Celica I would expect.

Naturally I'm a bit worried that this apparent discrepancy might cause me to get stopped by the police. I'm not too concerned because I have valid insurance, valid licence etc. and can provide all of these at the roadside if necessary (albeit just a photocopy of my insurance certificate)

I've asked my insurance company to update the details in their database to reflect the correct car, but they say that the details on their database ARE correct, and that I need to get in touch with DVLA and ask them to update their database.

However, doing a vehicle check on DVLA shows that their database is correct too.

Are MID contactable? Doesn't look like it off their site?

I've checked it on countless occasions, it's a dateless Northern Irish plate so it's not easy to muck up.

Interestingly, the details were correct at some point, probably before I switched insurers at renewal time.
