Unit Stocking
I have paid for a search using the VIN of a Volvo XC70 that I want to buy privately. It has an Authorities spec so has probably been built to a police force spec. However it also appears to have Unit Stocking status with Santander named. This sounds odd for a car that the seller claims to have owned for 6 years.
