Date Of Last V5C Issued

[Saleen836]

Just browsing the DVLA website and entered my car reg and it is saying 'Date of last V5C issued- 4 January 2012'
This surprised me as I have owned the car since new in 2006 when I imported it

I still has the same number plate it was first registered with, any idea why this would be?

Have you moved house?

Few years ago, some V5C's ( all ?) were replaced with different colour ones due to a huge theft of legit blank ones. Maybe that is the reason here ?

I'd forgotten all about that!

Not moved house so me being sent a replacement most likely explains it

I had a lease car that changed twice in the 2 years I had it, the company never changed as it was direct through manufacturer. Very strange

Could be the leasing company changing office address or even losing the V5 - unusual but could happen
