I have been looking at a 1.4 T jet...58 plate,98,000 the clock. 12 MONTHS mot, just serviced and had a new timing belt...panoramic sunroof(x2),new front discs and pads..bodyworks ok,could do with new bumpers...Runs sweet and engine and turbo appear good
Anything I should look out for?..
£1250...

" 58 plate " is probably very obvious for you in UK, but the poor rest of the world (since the Brexit) might not really understand... Is it so difficult to say " first half of 2008" if it's what it mean ???

Cheers, Bernie.

I made the assumption that peeps would know..like you did..BUT its an 08 plate,as you so rightly said.

Just to complete our info, how is the reg. plate system working in the UK ?

Cheers, Bernie

Sorry Bernie. I dont understand what your referring to..The system is stable if thats what you mean.

From post 2010 plate go as follows
First have of 2000 till 2009 is 0 followed by year of reg for first half of year the. 5 and year for second half
E.g 02 first half of 2002 and 52 for late 2002

2010 onwards it's 1 and 6 prefix
So 12 early 2012 and 62 for late 2012

Exactly what I wanted to know Chris !! So I guess the plate follows the car ? How about those ' JB 007' plates ??

Cheers, Bernie

Hey Nikrox did you ever end buying that tjet in the end?

Sorry for not posting in this..tbh I forgot about it. Although I liked the car the person who was interested,in a new car,decided she didnt like it.

They're "personal plates". Number plates in the UK are generally age related but you can buy non-age related plates that are more personal to you.
You cannot buy a plate that would make your car appear newer than it is.
Say for example you have a car from early 2006 (an 06 plate) and you wanted to buy an 07 plate you wouldn't be able to put it on the 06 car.

Thanks for the explanation ...

BRs, Bernie
