Thread: Vicroads suspect vehicle

I’ve never had the issue but wonder if the “can’t find it on the system” might be related to the club plate.
Id be finding out what the club plate number was and doing some research along that line. It HAS to be in their system under that plate, regardless of any potential typos or misreading of Vin etc.

I suggest that you try and discern the last digit, and then advise them with a photo maybe highlighted with fluoro or something. They may have read it wrongly.

I had all the trouble in the World registering my caravan in NSW because the dorks at the original Victorian dealer had one letter out on the VIN.

1985 is not that old. I wonder if the Landrover dealer that sold it new might have records to help you if the paper work you got is not help?

I was given a very old item that was registered incorrectly. "942" rather than the stamped code. The 942 was '1942' the manufacture date . It is going to a museum in NSW as it was a one off pre-production of a jungle carbine WW2 303

I have had trouble a number of times that when I get my Rego renewal either the Eng or Chassis numbers are incorrect & changed from previous year, then have to take vehicle in for them to site numbers so can be corrected. Also find here in Qld you can ask 10 different people at QT a question & get 10 different answers. It is probably a typo from when last registered.

When I picked the car up it still had the club plates on it, I did ask Vicroads the week before I picked the car up and they found it ok and there was no issues.

I had no trouble reading the last digit, the person who did the roadworthy last Tuesday 13/9/2022 had no trouble making out the last digit, only issues seems to be when I arrived at Vicroads to get it registered.

The person at Vicroads took pictures of the chassis number, the VIN plate in the engine bay and the front and rear of the car to be forwarded onto the department that handles these kind of issues, when I asked for a contact number or a refence number to follow things up I was told that they will contact me at a later date, no time frame was given just told to expect a call.

Would have to try and track down the original owner, the was no dealer stamp or contact in the glovebox manual that came with the car, I'm not even sure if it's always been a Victorian car.

I'm hoping it's something as simple as that.

Try regoing it at a different office.
