I very much doubt the DVLA is wrong, your car is an import if it is then the value will be less.

DVLA are well know for screwing things up big time, did you see that thing on Watchdog where they sent out driving licenses with the right name, but not that person's photos!   :grin:

DVLA are a set of idiots, twice my MOT certificate came back with the wrong detils after a number plate change.

Keep perstering them until they sort it out.

So based on what I have posted, this is your opinion  :huh:.

I will wait and see what I get back from the DVLA. As far as I am concerned it is pretty much a mistake.

However, just because a car is an import it doesn't neccessarily affect the value of the vehicle.

I'm sure a whole new thread could be started on that one (parallel v grey imports). :smiley:

I'm afraid to say it does affect the price although it shouldnt.  I've got a parallel import and looking at getting a new car and every dealer I've been to is screwing me over.  Ranging from 1000-2000 less than the Glass's guide value.  Maybe I am just unlucky.

I cannot see the DVLA getting that wrong, yes have seen cock ups over the year but nothing that major and as above if it is a import the value will be less.

If you can get the bill of sale from when it was new from
supplying VW dealer, that would over ride any V5 errors.

Yeah ,
sent them a copy of the original handover sheet signed by the dealer and the customer, and also a copy of the service book for the first PDI done by the UK dealer. Plus the telephone numbers of VW Care and VW Dealer Salesman.

Also sent a copy of the HPI that I done on the car which seemed a bit confused about the reg plates of the car.
The car has only had 1 private plate but the HPI also refers to the previous car that the private plate was on and that reg being on my car  :huh:?!. There may have been an error/confusion on a previous reg transfer to the gti.

In the past I have noticed that you can't always only bank on all of the HPI information as there is sometimes a minor error or it is not quite upto date. For example, the private plate was removed from the car early december but late January some companies incl. the AA could not find the car by its current reg.

I also have a copy of the last reg transfer on the car, but didn't send this as I didn't think it was relevant (and forgot :smiley:).

I'd say giving someone the incorrect photo on their driving licence is much more serious than this error. I can totally see this being a DVLA mistake, there's all kinds of errors in their information

I very much doubt the DVLA is wrong, your car is an import if it is then the value will be less.

LoL ... you obviously did'nt watch Watchdog last year  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

One guy was not allowed to ride his motorbike and had to resit his test because the DVLA cocked up and had'nt ticked the "motorcycle" category on his new license.  The DVLA refused to admit their error and correct their mistake  :sick:

and he was'nt the only one  :laugh:
