What's this car?

[SimonS4MTM]

Not many straights on that circuit for its long legs, and no low down torque

And why has it got (05ON)

That would mean 2005 onwards.

I know what it means, but it would'nt be on a vehicle check.

I think it depends on what database he's got the information from. I think an insurance database might have that sort of info.

[Merlot]

If you have the reg number and make of car, then the DVLA website will tell you the model and date of reg.

[Pete.S]

Any dealer, or indeed pretty much anyone who works at a dealership, can get access to databases that pull up model, reg, year, colour changes, finance details, accident history etc etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if anyone with a bit of motor trade savvy could access those databases too. They're run by companies such as Experian.
