was there a site or page where i can check the build month/year for imports?

It should be on the bottom of the seat belts and somewhere else that I can't remeber

Yes, this site seems to be running off the FAST database:

Put the full VIN (ie GCZ32-521756) into the search field.

thanks Andrew.

i saw a post or picture recently showing something similar for imports, and was sure i bookmarked it, but cannot find it. might have been on TT or a FB group somewhere.

needed it to prove the manufacture date for upcoming MOT, using the table 1 flowchart i think you posted previously?

 

basically, anything up to 1995 M reg does not require cat test, and my tester is happy to accept that as long as he has proof, not just the fact it has M reg plate.

happy to use manufacture date as cannot prove first use date.

 

1995 N reg (1st August onwards) do require, according to the guidelines.

thanks Tony, i needed to find something a bit more official.

This is probably the flowchart. As you say 1st August '95 is the important date.

 

Haven't you got the date on any old MOTs ?

That's the one Andrew. I also found it in the official government manual.

Of the 3 import cars i have, 2 of them have first registered as the same date as when first registered in the uk. The other has a date similar to the manufactured date. So for imports, that field is fairly arbitrary.

 

If you can use the VIN to check manufacture date, then he is happy to use that as proof.

There has been no problem before with my blue zed and really wont be a problem now with the green, he will still test it with non cat test, but he has asked me if i can provide proof that he can store with his own records in case he ever needed it.

That date isn't on them Tony.
