cosmicnutter_1993 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Clicky Looking around at cars, and i found this escort estate. clicked on it, and it says its a 1.3 Turbo Diesel. I done a few free car checks, and they all say its a blue escort saloon, built in 1990 - yes 1990, and registered in 1998. Firstly, i didnt know they did a 1300cc diesel turbo, in a mk6 escort, and secondly, why is it registered as 1990?? and on dvla special notes, it says " This vehicle can be licensed at a DVLA Local Office without the V5C Registration Certificate" ??????

cosmicnutter_1993 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 but the picture shows a diesel engine, the listing says its a rare 1.3 diesel, and car checks say its a diesel ? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) There is no 1.3 diesel... I'm guessing someone misread an 8 as a 3.. Edited February 10, 2010 by Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicnutter_1993 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 thats what i thought, but do a car check, it comes up as a 1300cc diesel on dvla records or any other car check thats what i thought, but do a car check, it comes up as a 1300cc diesel on dvla records or any other car check http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6299/shiteface.jpg this is where im confused, registered as manufactured in 1990, a 1300cc, and heavy oil / diesel . also the liscencing without logbook thing. weird. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6299/shiteface.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 the dvla checks when you apply to put a car in a lower tax band. they don't check if you apply for a higher band (by putting a bigger engine in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
