Time between build and registration
 

I've been doing a little research into my recently purchased 75 2.0 V6 Club SE, and it would appear that it was built at some point around April 2001, but wasn't registered until the end of September 2002, and didn't have a PDI carried out until the beginning of Novemeber. Is this quite common?
Can anyone give me an exact build date for my car?
Thanks in advance!

Quite normal in this day & age yeah

Mine was built around july 04 and not registered untill april 06.

When MG Rover went under i understand there were a lot of cars being
held in a field by the people who transported them from the factory
and kept them there until they were paid so i suppose there are a lot
of cars about that are a couple of years older than their reg suggests:shrug:

Same here, mine was built 2005 but not registered till feb 2007.

I would be wary of buying a face lift model as they would of been in the
majority amongst those being stored in fields and their were some horror
stories .....Brand new cars up to the doors in water etc and i suppose
the newer the car the more chance of that being the case

Mine was built on 5th June 2001 and not registered until 24th February 2003.

You can get a date very near to the build date (by a day or so) by looking at the label under the rear seat. Xpart also have a database with the exact date that the car went down the line and was built.

To late now, allready got it lol.

Steve im not saying all cars that were stored that way were affected
but like i said there were some horror stories....There are a lot of
electrics at carpet level in our cars

My ZT was built in january 04 and registered in may 04.My P6 3500S was on the road with its new owner in 2weeks of being built:}
