Mordey Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi all, My son is looking at a 2yr old Metal but Etis says "no information could be found for the VIN/Registration number you entered." When entering Reg on an Insurance comparison site it comes up with the correct car. I thought all newer cars would be registered on Etis. Any views would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Have you tried it by VIN rather than reg? Is it the original reg & not a private plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordey Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Cheers iNath, Thought about private plate but doesn't look private. All letters/numbers correct for year and doesn't spell anything. VIN i haven't got so will have to pay a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's possible that the car had a personal reg when it was new and the old owner has taken it off. Etis will only recognise the original registered plate or VIN number. I had this with my personalised plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyedge Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Had the same when I bought my Metal. It was originally registered with a private plate which the owner retained. The only way to find it on Etis is with the original reg or the VIN. A new reg was allocated when I bought it which does show up on insurance comparison websites.

karl46 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It may have been bulk dealer stock, ordered without having a preordered customer, so no Regd No allocated till delivered at dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
