V5 logbook question

austin
austin Posts: 560 Forumite
i bought a car which i knew was a cat. c, and when i got the logbook through the post it stated in the special notes section that the car was substantially repaired etc.

i then put my private plate on the car, and when the logbook came back the special notes section is blank, nothing to suggest the car was in an accident.

i just wanted to know if this is normal?

    Not sure.

    But I assume when you take your plate off the car and it gets it old number back then the note will then return?

    yes, that's what i'm thinking, but i would assume they would keep something like that on the logbook regardless of the reg?

    bit puzzled :(

    Very odd, as the only thing that changes is the VRM.
