1750gtv Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi, My 110 Td5 SW is an ex mod vehicle and for some reason the MOT model is down as 127. I've emailed the DVSA and they say it's fine to change if I give them correct details. Would someone with a similar vintage (2003) 110 sw just check their MOT cert for me and confirm exactly what it says under make and model. I.e. just Land Rover 110, or does it mention Defender, Station Wagon etc. Oh also, should there be anything under Vehicle Category? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1989 110 (that pre dates the Defender model name) is described as a "LAND ROVER DEFENDER" on the test certificate and also has nothing under vehicle category, it's a dual purpose vehicle and is therefore category M1 (if stated). Why is this information slightly wrong/missing? Because as the MOT system has evolved from the old hand written certificates into what is now the second version of MOT computerisation, much data had to be migrated from one system to the other and some was lost or entered incorrectly. On comp' 1, the first version of the computerisation, there were drop down menus to enable us to add or amend details, not everyone bothered and some things were still missing or wrong when the current comp' 2 arrived with less option for editing. Does it matter? No, it really doesn't. Pretty much the only thing that must be correct on the certificate is the vin no' must relate to the vehicle that was tested.

Will@LRW Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 When you check on the MOT history page, it should say "LAND ROVER DEFENDER". The model is "DEFENDER" (DVSA) and is different than what's on the V5C (DVLA), which would be listed as something more specific. For that age and type of vehicle, assuming it's not County or XS, that would be "DEFENDER 110 TD5". This is commonly wrong for ex-military vehicles and imports. For reference, a full list of the DVLA models is here: https://defender.lrworkshop.com/models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1750gtv Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks all, very useful. 'Land Rover Defender' it is then. @Will- do you know if its possible to get the V5C updated? Mine is scant on detail and just says 'Land Rover'. Not exactly important but nice should I ever sell it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
