Potential cloned plates / what to do next?

If it is a cloned plate, I wouldn't bother telling the police!


I told the DVLA who also advised to me to tell police but and I went into the local station. They really couldn't have cared less.

When I registered my car the dealer had 3 reg plates in a row like ABC ABD ABE - not impossible to be one digit along and have the same car if it's a popular model

My in laws bought a new car from dealer. Only 2 years down the line did they notice that the front and rear plates were 1 digit out so not the same reg. Easily done if someone isnt paying attention but doesn't sound like it was the case here.

OP - hope you manage to get it sorted.

Ta. I suppose the # was a typo then. It's all very well using abbreviations but they have to ones we all use or understand.

No, it's not a typo that's how they input the code.

#VE is a vehicle enquiry, #DL driving licence.

And how many people would know that? I certainly didn't, and neither did Le_Kirk.

So ask the question.

And don't get stroppy when you guess and are wrong.

Same thing happened to me. Wrong number on the back.

Same here, when we bought our last couple of cars the dealership had a list of registration numbers they could use straight away, so obviously the chances are that several cars with similar models could end up with consecutive plates.
