Facts about DVLA
1. It is run by the Government
2. It involves a computer
3. It is, and will continue to be, a very inefficient 'service'

for the benefit of local jokel i will give the facts
booklet INS 160 PAGE 4 SECTION 4
I quote, "it is your responsibility to check that all the details are correct."
Page 3 last paragraph is more specific,£1000 fine if you dont tell us and a £5000 fine and up to 2 years in prison if you deliberatly give false information.
Send it off as there is no dept at dvla that will let you off everything is black and white,personally i like their system as it is very efficient and gets 10/10 for service from me.

Tks, Oldman, but if you look at my earlier post you can see I knew it was my resp. to check and advise of errors.
My real problem is that they were made in the first place, and seem to be the result of poor design/management of the computer system. Highly likely therefore that mine is not the only V5 that is wrong, because of their errors - they must send out 1000s each day - and my guess is that less than 25% of owners would check they were correct.
It could prove expensive for individuals at a later date (PXing/sale, for example) if they did not discover mistakes that had a knock on effect.

well ive never had one wrong yet, honestly, and i do check them, hpi very often have wrong details a classic is 5 door corsa"s listed as 3 doors, I believe in most cases its sellers and buyers that input details on the original v5 that is wrong at p.o.s.
Most people are still unsure how to fill in the new v5c and they have been out a year.
The only thing about dvla that bugs me is that you have to go to a local office to change the taxation class from disabled to plg they cant do it at swansea.

But no obligation on DVLA, who are here to serve us and paid to do, to get it right in the first instance! The police say that their ability to track and trace vehicle owners thru APNR technology is compromised by a high percentage of inaccurate DVLA records. If I was 30% inaccurate in my job I'd be sacked and rightly so! And this is the bunch of clowns that thinks we should all have ID cards; the Government, not the DVLA!
