Outstanding finance?

[HughG]

A car I'm looking at buying used to have a personalised plate, since it's removal a finance agreement has been taken out for a completely different type of car which now has that reg.

Is there any recourse to that finance against the car I'm looking to buy? It would seem completely illogical but otherwise why would the check mention it.

Details from check below.
