Number plate issue
I want to buy suzuki swift. I have checked it and it has recorded a number plate change in 2018. That new number plate belongs to nissan qashqai. Now Suzuki has the old number plate on it which belongs to suzuki. Should I worry about it or it was just a little mistake?

If you check its MOT history online, is it showing the correct car?0

Someone bought a new car and transferred their vanity plate?0 -
Yes it is showing the correct car. I thought maybe it can be a private number plate but i wouldn't buy it. The reg is NA51ELL. Suzuki that I want to buy has reg LT62FWK0

Are you saying that the car was originally registered in 2012 as LT62FWK and then it had a different number NA51ELL put on in 2018, and now it has its original number LT62FWK on it?
That would be nothing to worry about, if you transfer a vanity registration onto the car, when you remove it you get the original number back. Who cares where NA51ELL is now?I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

The 51 plate is a 2001/2-issued plate. There's no way it's on a 2012/13 registered car, unless somebody transferred it on.
You might not think "NA51ELL" has any significance, but the previous owners clearly did. Who knows why...0 -
Their name is Nastell or Nashell and it was the closest they could get? And presumably that number is now on their new Qashqai or will be very shortly.
My parents bought a car a few years back with a private plate still on it and the original plates in the boot - had to wait a week or so to be told to swap them over. Never an issue.I need to think of something new here...0 -

Or their name could be Naisell, as you say though it matters not why they chose to keep the plate.0 -
Or they could be a London based sales person.

I think new style XX51 XXX vanity number plates look rubbish. When I see a latest model car with an old 51 or 03 etc reg plate on I just think it makes your car look old, it doesn't scream private reg to me.0
