2 same cars with same number plate and same number V5C

[Grzes-24]

I bought year ago car not from trader just privat.
Now I know another owner have same car the same model, the same colour, the same number plate, the same number of logbook.
It is possible dvla send 2 the same logbooks V5C to two diffrence people?
Probably 1 car is clone (I think) but why dvla send 2 the same logbooks to 2 diffrence people and 2 diffrence address?
Also each car have separate car insurance, separate road tax and separate valid MOT test/

What I can do now?

Better call the rozzers. Someone’s car is almost certainly stolen or maybe a write off.

Better you come forward than being found with stolen property even though obviously you’ll be cleared in the long run.

Check your vin plate. If anything looks dodgy, sell it immediately!

is the other owner a friend or family member? Are you Scottish?

Or Irish?

[Grzes-24]

Im leaving in England. Not Irish, not Scotish.
HPI ic clear - not write off. Before I bought I paid to check HPI. Thru this VIN number, number plate car is not write off, not stolen, not finace, not category.

1 of the 2 cars in question is dodgy (stolen, cloned etc)

Which one do you own?!

Id be contacting the police.

How do you know there's a car out there with the same vin and reg ?

[RC1807]

I'd wager that the plates have the same digits but not in the same order, I.e., 2 digits have been transposed and it *looks* like the same plate. I can't think the DVLA have issued 2 identical plates.

.... I doubt that DVLA have issued 2 identical plates.....

Doesn't mean there are not 2 identical cars driving round on the same plate though.

Exactly. Something fishier than a fish going on here.

Have seen a car recently that was cloned but only came to light when the clone was rolled and declared Cat B (and paid out). Both cars had V5’s, both had current MOT tests (as in both had been tested which did mess up the online history) and both had been serviced at a main dealer with the cloned one having a large warranty claim.

Your first port of call should be NAVCIS who will talk you through what to do.

I did a complain to dvla because I did first MOT in 3 months ago and another person did MOT for the same car and the same number plate 1 month ago. Each car have separate road taxes, separate mot, the same model, colour, same number v5c

[mikeyr]

How do you know about the other car? How would you know it has the same V5 etc?

Is it possible that someone has had an MOT on a car with a similiar numberplate and the MOT tester has entered your reg number by mistake?

[SimonTheSailor]

What's the number plate ?

[anonymous-user]

Ask DVLA to give you a new reg. Report this to the police. It is simple really. The question is who has the cloned car?

Check your vin against reg, that will tell you.

Quoted for posterity.

My sadly deceased mate had three BSA B34 Gold Stars, they all had the same number plate. He could only ride them one at a time…

It’s the white rectangular plate stuck on the front and the yellow one stuck on the back. Usually has a selection of numbers and letters on them.

[anonymous-user]

Is it stuck on with Velcro might be first checking?

I don't know how ops knows the colour of other car though. My plate was cloned, I reported it then sold it.
