So I recently bought a vehicle from BCA with 1 owner, it was a lease car I believe (or financed) as the selling company was VW Financial Services and they are also the registered owners from new. However, now that I have the car I noticed on the V5C it has 1 previous registered keeper and has VWFS as the current keeper. I looked at both the current registered keeper and previous and both are VWFS with the exact same address (i.e. it does not change). In addition to this the service records show that only one person has been driving the car (as all invoices are addressed to him) and the car has full manufacturer service history. So I'm not sure why the V5C has incremented the registered keepers by 1 (maybe at some point they requested another V5C or transferred ownership between VWFS branches)?

Do you think I could contact the DVLA to get this duplicate registered keeper removed or will they not care and simply tell me to jog on?
