Hi, Just a query as don't know who else to ask !!

Bought a car on Sunday from a dealer with no service history other than two MOTs, one current and one from two years previous. V5 was present and didnt really notice the two year MOT gap. Have since searched for and found previous MOTs (apart from the gap) and all mileage seems reasonable.

Did an AA HPI before purchasing and all VIN and Chassis numbers matched up. Dealer completed V5 and am waiting for new one to arrive.

Query is that my wife was stopped the other day by the police as the DVLA believe that this car is SORN !!!

How come this is not something that the HPI check, checks for ?

Fortunately I remembered the previous keepers name (dealer had not transferred into his own name... apparently common) and was able to satisfy the policeman over the phone that we had just purchased it. Obviously we had taxed it and insurance sorted but now my wife is convinced that something is wrong. Not helped that the NMR has thrown up a discrepancy, albeit ony 360 miles !!!

It genuinely sounds like someone has SORNd it and said 59k when it was actually 58640... am confident by the progression of the previous MOTs.

Bit of a question mark as to where its been for two years though.

Anyone had a similar experience..... have tried googling HPI/SORN but havent found anything similar.

Thanks

Mark
