[Havok316]

Ive noticed when i type in my vehicle registration on any insurance companys website it tell mes my ibiza is 2003 not sure if anyones had this before? Bearing in mind my beefa was originally from ireland? my reg is like ICZXXX1

what year is your car then mate ?

My year is fine but quite often comes up with '5 door hatchback'

 

[Havok316]

according to my log book the first registrant was in 2003 but im confused as to the mk3 cupras were 1999-2002 if im correct. Im guessing as my car was from ireland im assuming it was registered in 2001 BUT registered as an import in the uk in 2003 maybe? so UK records shows it like that but the vehicle was HPI cleared before i bought it

ive not had a problem with the year, but i had to have my logbook changed as is said 5 door hatchback on mine too.

Whats your Vin number?

VSSZZZ6KZ1Rxxxxxx or 6KZ2Rxxxxxx means its a Mk3
VSSZZZ6LZ2Rxxxxxx or VSSZZZ6LZxxxxxx means its a Mk4
the 1R, 2R, 3R bit etc is your Model Year (obviously MY01, MY02, MY03 etc)

Not had the year issue, but my logbook also states my car is a 5 door Cupra.

fella northern irish cars (calling us ireland is like calling england scotland btw) do not need importing etc we run off the same legislation as the mainland, on the other hand, if it is a republic of ireland car then it would as its running different plates etc, icz is a northern irish plate though.

not being funny but i reckon he'd know if he had a m3 or mk4 without checking his vin

and only really tells you what model type and when/where it was built - which could be anything up to 3/6 months before registration

best one i've seen is a car built 3 years before it was registered - kid you not

 

[acidstrato]

is it not possible the car could just not have been registered till 2003

obviously so as above...most likely reason i can think of so far

never take anything for granted - only trying to help, I quote " but im confused as to the mk3 cupras were 1999-2002 if im correct."

You'd be surprised, there was a thread on here (or maybe a now defunct forum) saying the current Ibiza is in fact a MK 3, what we know as a Mk 3 is just a Mk 2 facelift and therefore a Mk 2 !!

possibly a late reg vehicle that's been sat at compound or port for ages ??

we've got a mk1 toledo on a W plate local to us, althought it's a 98 model year vehicle!!
