Tractor with no V5

[rusty]

I bought a Ford 7610 series 2 late October from a machinery dealer. He claimed to have lost the V5 and said I could get a new one from DVLA. I had the tractor delivered to straight to my mechanics workshop to do a few small jobs on it. Having problems after sending in paperwork to DVLA and speaking to them as reg number and Vehicle ID do not match.
Yesterday I put the reg into DVLA number plate checker and it came up as belonging to a green Citroen. Has anyone any idea what may be going on?

Sounds like a call to trading standards

Check with DVLA using VIN number for your tractor, after you contact the dealer first in person or phone, then by letter/mail. Others will know more .....

Either it’s stolen or someone has a digit wrong when ordering a number plate.

I suspect he knew it was dodgy when he claimed to have 'lost' the V5.

Why wouldn’t you make the machinary dealer sort the V5 before buying it?

Never thought it would be an issue. Think I must be too trusting.

Annoye me when see add v5 needs applying for only £25 or parts £50 off ebay. Just do it before selling it.

Should be the dealers problem. I would go straight back to him and get him to sort it out.

paperwork should be right before you even think about taking it home

Thought so. Just found it on Facebook. I'm afraid you'll be on your own
