T5 How to date

[pompeyvespa]

im about to buy my friends T5. Its frame no. has been rubbed off the log book and plate doesnt match. ive heard that someone can come out look at the scooter and date it. Then i will recieve a document to send to the dvla so i can get the right log book and plate. Does anybody know how i would get this done? Please help as this will be my first scooter! thx

Sounds like a ringer, talk to the police first. Get the frame and engine number to the DVLA, they have the files.

Thanks 4 reply, apparently the dvla said that it needs someone to give them a date certificate and they will send new log book! Think ill get it sorted before i part with cash! The scooter has been insured and motd but the dvla said it needs to be done this year! Its a nightmare as im new to all this!
