Time between build and registration

FrazzleTC · 1st October 2011, 22:40

I've been doing a little research into my recently purchased 75 2.0 V6 Club SE, and it would appear that it was built at some point around April 2001, but wasn't registered until the end of September 2002, and didn't have a PDI carried out until the beginning of Novemeber. Is this quite common?
Can anyone give me an exact build date for my car?
Thanks in advance!

When MG Rover went under i understand there were a lot of cars being
held in a field by the people who transported them from the factory
and kept them there until they were paid so i suppose there are a lot
of cars about that are a couple of years older than their reg suggests

I would be wary of buying a face lift model as they would of been in the
majority amongst those being stored in fields and their were some horror
stories .....Brand new cars up to the doors in water etc and i suppose
the newer the car the more chance of that being the case
