Date first Used and registration Date

[rangerstuart]

Can anyone help / advice.
I have checked my Jago Jeep registration year and it comes up on the DVLA site as 1984 although the running gear / engine is earlier as you would imagine from a Kit car.

But when I check the DVLA MOT checker it says quite clearly that the Kit car
'Date first used' was on 1st January 1971.

Now from what I have managed to dig up during the early 80's a lot of kit cars were re classified as a later year, not the original year on the rd due to admin errors etc, so I am told.

Has anyone else had anything similar? as far as I can see my vehicle should be 1971 and not 1984 as it states on the V5. Surely the DVLA should of checked the MOT history and seen that they had the wrong year on the V5
or am I wrong?

cheers

Well you would think that but the 1971 year on the MOT is under my Q plate registration.

just came off the phone to DVLA they said if I can print off the proof which is in on their site anyway!!!. and send it off to them with my V5 as long as the Date on Rd is 1971 under my registration number they will look to change it.

Fingers crossed they will, means no Rd tax

There was a 2L automatic jago for sale not so long back on ebay.
