Hi I have recently purchased a 2016 fr184 estate and for some reason,still has a mib1 fitted,every other 2016 car I’ve seen for sale on auto trader etc has a mib2 fitted,anyone came across this before?or is it just a case of car was built earlier and not registered till 2016?
 
The 10th character on your Chassis No (ie VIN - vehicle identification number) will indicate the year of manufacture, regardless of date of 1st registration:


There are different types of MIB 2 unit, and from memory were phased in from 2014 across the VAG cars. Might be worth putting up a photo and/or confirming using details in post #3 below:

 
Going by chassis number it was built in 2015.
