My MOT certification has the wrong number plate

When I first bought my car back in May, I noticed the front and rear number plates were different. The difference being the reversal of the last two letters, HK on front, and KH on rear.

 

I got this sorted out at the garage who I bought the car from, but I have just noticed that the current MOT [or the one about to run out] has the wrong number plate on it. IE ending in HK and not KH as it should be

 

Should this matter, the guy at the MOT station seemed concerned. :shrug:

my V5 has nissan as the manufacturer on it and i managed to get tax, even though the insurance cert says toyota! :shrug:

 

What?? Take my advice don't return it to the DVLA to get changed, I sent my V5 because it had my car down as an MPV. It took them over 3 months to get it back to me.

4 weeks is the norm so I was told aswell.

 

I think my situation was out of the ordinary though. After weeks and weeks of trying to make contact with them, I eventually had to go through the complaints procedure in order to get it released back to me. They then sent me a three page appology letter.

 

I would send it recorded delivery, and ring them every day to until they get it back to you.

You could give it ago, but I think you have to send it off.

 

This is from the DVLA website:

Keepers are asked to ensure that their personal details are correct and that the easily identifiable characteristics such as Make, Model, Colour, VIN/Chassis and Engine numbers on their new registration certificate are correct. If there are any inaccuracies the registration certificate, theV5C must be returned to DVLA for amendment. The Guidance Notes (INS 160) that accompany the V5C provides information on how to do this.
