I picked up a new car in 2003, a Renault Megane, which had the wrong number plate on the back, but the right one on the front. WV53FPD was the correct number, but WV53FDP had been made for the back. I noticed it, but only because I approached the car from the back first and having only just sorted the insurance the number was fresh in my mind. I had approached from the front, it might have stayed like that for years. Well, not years as it was written off after 11 months when a Volvo driver used it rather then his brakes to slow down... though, when I looked a few years ago it did make it back on the road...
Not sure how you can prove it so long after the event, annoying though it Is...
