does it say anywhere on the v5 previously used or registered outside of the uk. ie declared manufactured 2007/2008.

 

when I used to buy jap imports when you registered them it always stated something on the v5

saying it was used outside the uk manufactured such and such a year.

Section 2 on v5 shows perevious owners 1 he acquired vehicle on 01092012

 

note 3 says declared new at first registration section 4 says date of 1st reg 01092012

but harley dealership say according to theyre vin search bike was 1st sold 20122006

you will need to phone Swansea and ask them to see what info they hold, ask them could they put whatever they have in writing to you. if you pm the reg I will check it for you tomorrow.

[belfast4]

could the bike have been rebuilt and sold as new?

The rreg is yj62xxx

Removing part of reg for security.

Dealers are required to make all reasonable attempts to establish the mileage and age of a vehicle before they sell it. If you can find the date then so can they which means they have not complied.

You would be entitled to reject the bike for a full refund 'not as described'.
