MusicalChris Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi, i just checked my vin on the Ford Etis website and it shows my cars reg as a CA59 when the actual reg on the car is KX11? has anyone had this before and should i be concerned about this? Have been basing my servicing on it being an 11 year car so only did the cambelt etc this year Thanks again Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Are you sure you got the VIN exactly right? Just one digit wrong could be an entirely different Fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalChris Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi, number is 100% correct, have a pic of the number on my phone from the windscreen Having looked at the service book at the back page the same CA59 reg is written in the book Seems odd that it was re-registered Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Etis only records the reg it was given when it was new. It's illegal to put a plate on a car which makes it appear newer than it is though. Perhaps the CA59 is a custom plate used for first reg, but was then taken off, so it was re-registered based on it's year of production, 2011? What does Ford Etis show the build date as? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicalChris Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi Alex, so registered and does say build date of Jan 2011 and registered March 2011 so must have been a custom/private plate Thanks again Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
