    Aside from a relisting fee for the advert, which won't be £200.00, what other loss has the garage suffered? They are certainly not entitled to keep the full £200.00.

    Aren't they?. If the car remained unsold, they'd probably dispose of it to another trader or an auction, now that it's sold they'll have to prepare it. This could involve giving it a MOT, giving it a service, renewing legal tyres and brakes that have not got much life left in them, cosmetic repairs and getting it cleaned - all of which won't add much value if it's disposed of within the trade, but is needed if it's getting retailed, this could well cost £200.

    it's most likely that the dvla have messed up.

    if the chassis number matches the v5 and it is actually a scenic then I would have thought you would be able to sort this out quite quickly.
    Steady on with your logic and practicality.

    Next you'll be suggesting that explaining the incorrect model on the V5C to any half-way sensble insurer won't actually be a problem.
