Probably registered post delivery and the year of manufacture/import can't be accurately determined

That'll be it - therefore age is unclear as Rich says.

Sounds like it - there are limits applied to agricultural vehicles but they relate to the tax class and whether you run on red diesel.
The number plate relates to the initial registration of the vehicle and not the class of usage.

On something like a quad, it wouldn't put me off buying it if everything else was in order
