How to fine out when my import was made/registered in japan
Just got my V5 and reg for my MY03 JDM STI GL through
When I bought it in jan 2004 it had 800 miles on it and I was told it was imported new in december 03
The DVLA have given me a 52 reg and it says on the v5 date of first registration 01 01 2004 and declared manufactured 2003
Is this a case of dvla taking worst possilbe cash ie jan 03 (giving me a 52 plate) when it is most likely should be a 53 plate
I will be putting my private reg on it but that is not the point.

Have a look at the white tag on the end of the seat-belts, near the mounting point.
The belts often have a manufactured date printed on them - and the car cannot have been made before the belts were. Typically the date of manuf of the car is circa a month or two after the belts...
A good indication if nothing else - and may help sway the DVLA if in any doubt.
