The data is wrong?

The car is a ringer?

The dealer got it wrong?

The people who sold the data deliberatly swapped a few records around so that if the data gets pirated they can check if its theirs or not?

It will be a ringer then

Do you think i should ask Citroen about it? The car has had one previous lady owner who was in her 70s and never drove it

If the V5 is right don't worry.

Data that car insurers buy is mined or guessed, and isn't always so reliable.

It's not a 1.4 for sure. It's the slowest car i've ever had (including the 1.1 106). Doesn't have the VTR kit so it's not a Furio, only has the wheels which i added. Saving for a 307 but that's gonna take time
