 Car not on DVLA or MIB database - smokie
As mentioned in my other thread, I committed to buying a 11 plate Fiesta today, from a well known Ford franchise.

He told me it's a "Jersey" car, sent across by Ford for rental. I've known about this trick of Ford's for ages, and I'm sure it's been previously discussed. It only has 500m on the clock. He told me that there is quite a few months remaining on the tax disc which we will get.

So I called the insurers earlier but the car wasn't on their database. So they checked on DVLA (apparently they have direct access) and it wasn't on there either.

Should alarm bells be ringing?
