Car history check ,2 year old Discovery conning up different colour?

[ShiWarrior]

Not buying the car, it's left in a public car park for days

Black range rover sport , comes up as red on the government database, no idea why ?

OY66 UHD


Edit/ I can't edit title on my phone, sorry wrong spelling

Might have been wrapped or resprayed for whatever reason, or an admin **** up - I’d just move on with life tbh.

 

[ShiWarrior]

I was just curious , boss wanted me to check if it had an MOT / TAX

 

[Firestar_3x]

Bit soon for an MOT yet?

 

[Jonnycoupe]

I wouldn’t worry about the colour, it’s changed from a Discovery to a Range Sport within the thread!

 

[[TW]Fox]

Gotta check the MOT status of those sub 36 month old cars

Could be stolen and left to see if it's got a tracker.. false plates.

 

[azibux1]

Could be wrapped.

dumped in a carpark for days plates not matching what your seeing stoler on false plates.

they'll have noted the reg of another rangerover down stuck those plates on as it will pass all the anpr checks and wont flag up.

stoler will sit in teh car park for a while then dissapear into a shipping container

My first thoughts when reading the OP was that this has clearly been stolen, and false plates stuck on it.

Personally i'd report it to the police.

 

[grudas]

yup! very common thing to do.

nick it -> false plates -> leave it sitting in a car park to see if it gets picked up from tracker -> if not -> break it/ship it.

report it to police ASAP

Report to police with vin numver

 

[Jez]

Grab its VIN from the visible window plate and we can see if the VIN matches the reg on display?

 

[ShiWarrior]

thanks guys

it must have disappeared on Sunday, but i see it "dumped" regularly

if i see it again (i probably will) ill get the VIN of the windscreen

Another possibility: it's not black but dark brown which is noted as red. My colleagues RR is a dark purple which looks black in low light but that's down as brown on the logbook. Also, I once owned a mk1 Mondeo which was dark purple (aubergine), also looked black in low light and that was classified as red on the V5...

Make:LAND ROVER
Model:. DISCOVERY SPORT TD4 HSE BLACK
Reg:OY66UHD
Vin:SALCA2AN******339

i've starred of the VIN as i suspect the owner probably doesn't want it plastered all over the internet.
but it looks legit to me

So really then some guy parked his car in a carpark is about all the story is?

 

[Werewolf]

It could always be an error at the DVLA, I've only had a handful of cars but they've got the colour wrong on one and the engine type on another, both on new vehicles so no chance of stolen, which suggests a bit of an error rate at the DVLA or dealerships

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Tell me the full VIN and I’ll tell you what colour it was painted.
