That is car 6051 and was Paragon Fleet Solutions.
After 12 months and about 10,360 miles it went into storage until it reappeared 3 years later for its first service. After another service it hasn't been seen by Jaguar since Sept 2017.

Car 5434. Although it's a VE plate it was privately owned in Cheltenham for first 2 years before moving to Manchester for 2 years but online service history stops there in October 2017 with 27300 miles. Doesn't mean it hasn't been serviced. There might be paperwork for services or maybe they serviced it themselves.

Clear on PNC. Untaxed since 5th Feb.
MOT - warnings and fails for tyres and warnings on worn suspension. Only done 4000 miles in last 3 years.
Don't forget these are £600 a year road tax.

As you probably know, the first two number plate digits are regional identifiers. So OY, OY etc are Oxford; V... etc Severn Valley. When a car has one of these, it does not necessarily mean it's been a fleet or track car, it does pay to be cautious. Condition is most important as a car registered elsewhere could have been neglected or ragged far more than one of the aforementioned.

[/quote] Thanks simpleR. Amazing what you can find out about a car . Like I myself as others have found out regarding services not been added to the OSH it beggars belief why did they do away with the old service book :roll:
