DVLA and the V5 document.
The other car is a 335xd
Whenever I put the Reg No into a Euro parts / insurance / valuation type of web site, it comes back as a 335i M Sport petrol (which I don’t think exists)
It is a 335x Diesel M Sport - can the V5 Document be amended and without too much faff or indeed cost?
There has been a mistake by someone along the way but not of my doing!

Just curious how it impacts the insurance if that is wrong.
Don’t know about how you can do anything with dvla though

DVLA and the V5 document.
The last Ducati I owned had an error on the V5, one digit of the frame number was wrong (it’s all genuine). I never bothered getting it changed but the process required a fairly detailed inspection by the DVLA to check what the vehicle actually is before they will change anything. It’s trying to stop ringing and fake identities etc.
Have you had your car from new? Are you 100% sure it’s what you think it is?
Won’t you be paying a different VED rate as the fuel type and hence emissions are different? Not sure in that one?

Lets hope so or he has found a car that can run on diesel and petrol - if the car was purchased new, surely the garage have registered it incorrectly with the DVLA?Rockhopper wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 9:28 am The last Ducati I owned had an error on the V5, one digit of the frame number was wrong (it’s all genuine).

What do the details on the V5 say Ron? That's the important bit. On the first page it should state it is a diesel (taxation class and type of fuel boxes), the model, etc, etc.
If the details on the V5 are correct, then it is that the DVLA have made a mistake when uploading the details onto their database which everybody else accesses. If this is the case, then contact the DVLA and they should be able to amend the database as they will see the discrepancy once alerted to it.

Sorry, I missed that we are not taking about the V5 at this stage, yes thats the important thing but if it doesn't match the car they will still need to inspect the car to make it is what it is if that makes sense.

But Ron asked if the V5 can be amended so I assume it is wrong on that?

True.
So yes it can but they will need to inspect it.

Im sure there is a tax difference- the Diesel is only 145g Co2 - the V5 does show Taxation class as Diesel - it seems that 335i description is the culprit!

So are you saying that the V5 is correct apart from it stating the model as a 335i, not a 335d?

It may be correct, as strictly speaking it IS a 335i, just a 335i diesel.
Sounds like a mistake was made when uploading details to the database, ie, petrol 335i not a diesel 335i.
Is there mention of 4WD on the V5?
