engine number wont be checked unless they suspect something as mine aint even declared on my v5c just says unknown!
Will need to check my v5, see what it says.
What are the failure reasons?
There are seven failure reasons:
1. Detail discrepancies or signs of tampering were noted on the VIN Plate.
2. Detail discrepancies or signs of tampering were noted on the Visible VIN.
3. Detail discrepancies or signs of tampering were noted on the Stamped in VIN.
4. Repairs or damage corresponding to insurance records were not evident.
5. A variety of component dates did not corroborate the vehicle’s production/registration date.
6. The engine number displayed did not correspond with the DVLA record.7. The vehicle’s appearance or significant physical details did not correspond to DVLA records for this VRM.
Unfortunately with my luck, they'll check it. I'm assuming/hoping that I can submit to DVLA a change of engine notification, then a few months later take the car in and the number will tally.
I'm going to need the VIC as without it I won't be able to get car tax renewal!
