Strange MOT data
Discussion
I've looked up the MOT history of a bike which is advertised for sale, and it seems a bit odd.
The bike is on an 1988 'F' plate, but the DVLA site says it was registered on 28th February 1992 (the bike model and colour match).
Also, it says the vehicle hasn't had it's first MOT!
The advertisement implies it doesn't have a current MOT. I suppose it could have covered its 40,000 miles within the first three years of its life, and not been MOT'd since, but it seems unlikely!
Should it set alarm bells ringing?

If an import it will/should say on V5 or even the Gov.uk 'tax check' under; Date of first registration and Date of first registration in the UK.
At least my Guzzi does - I imported it in 2015 but it's a 'V' (suffix) plate as it was given an age related plate.
Also shows as '0' former keepers because that is only relating to UK keepers and it's only had 5 MOTs as it is now exempt (40+ yrs old) and that can be viewed on the Gov.uk 'MOT check'.
