Hi guys

I know this has been a while (over 2 months in fact), but i received a phone call from a very pleasant man from the DVLA today.

He apologised for the issue taking so long to resolve, but they were waiting on information from other departments.

He confirmed that there was no reason for the statement to be on my V5 as the car is NOT an import.  :grin: The statement will be updated to read 'New at first registration' (or words to that effect).

So it does pay to question something that doesnt feel right.

I know now that I wont have any dodgy queries when I come to sell the car.

Hope my experience is of help to someone.

Thanks for all your support  :wink:

Has to be a reason it was put on the logbook in the 1st place.

DVLA say it was a genuine mistake and that they do happen.

So no specific reason.

Yes but have you ever seen the paperwork needed to 1st reg a car, if you did then you would see why I am struggling to believe they got it wrong.
