I've just bought a van that is a 150 hp version, but the V5 identifies it as a 180hp.

The tax is the same, since it is classed as a light goods vehicle. Is it worth worrying about, or should I just leave it?

Yep.

I had a similar thing with a HPI check on my current car. The check came back with the number of gears as 5, even though my model has had 6 since 2007. I used a correction form, contacted them and got it changed.

Did make me wonder why it hadn't been changed in 3 years though. Guess I'm the only person who checks these things. smile

Great, thanks very much. I wish it was 180, though!
