Get your brother to find the model code on the vin plate under the bonnet on the suspension strut, from that you should be able to tell...

No idea, does the vin look tampered with or re-riveted? Seems a big gap for it to be late registered

Becuase they got the age wrong when re-registering it with UK plates.

Likely a dodgy grey market car dealer deciding to knock a few years off when re-registering it over in the UK

So really the car should be a k plate? Who ever registered it hasn't got a clue because its not even logged as a turbo just the vin number and the model number which all state its a turbo
