Morning all. I'm looking at this lovely Caterham for sale
https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15520646
It's exactly the spec I'm after.

However I've done the usual check online for MOT history and it has none, which is odd.
Also it's coming back on the DVLA website as a green, electric Clubcar (which from what I can tell is a golf buggy). I've even spent a few quid on a vehicle history check to see if it's had a plate change, but that's come back as no plate change and only 1 owner.

I'm waiting for the dealer to come back to me as I'll ask them about this, but I'm still confused as to why there's no MOT history. Any thoughts on this?

Looks like someone messed up making the plates. Try DN56 DTY.

But if you buy it get them to fit the correct plates.

But that came back as an S3, and the one advertised is an SV.

The SVs I've checked all seem to come back as S3 chassis.
I've spoken to the dealer and it is DTY, and there are some correct plates with it that they will fit
