Buying a used V6S - reg check?

Car 23866 in stratus grey. Been off the road since January.
Cannot check until back at work on Monday.
 
48 month (in 2019) and 60 month (in 2020) services are missing online records but does look like they actually done by Beadles Jaguar Sidcup. You should get them to add the missing online records.

Full VIN and reg both match up and both show no stolen record.
Looks like 2 previous owners.
Nothing else to report, must look nice in grey with the white/cream interior.

Enjoy

Allegedly was a Jaguar demo car then one other owner. Does look nice.



Dealer claims to have resprayed the front bumper and the wheels have been painted (which I'm not overly happy about but they look good).
 
Unlikely to have been a Jaguar demo car as it's not on an "O" plate and there is no used car preparation record for when it left Jaguar Norwich.

One way to confirm, give Jaguar Norwich, Cromer Road, NR6 6NB a call as that is where car was PDI'ed.

Maybe a dealer demo car?
 
first owner from 01/03/2015 to 29/11/2015
second owner from 29/11/2015 to now?

seems the sale to the dealer doesn't show as the second ownership ending... is that normal?

dealer has had the car for six months and has dropped the price significantly since first listing it. in the last four years it's done only 12000 miles
 
Google suggests AU plate means registered in Nottingham. But PDI was at Norwich. Give Jaguar Norwich a call, they will be the only ones who know what they used it for.
 
Back in 2015, Jaguar Norwich and Nottingham were both possibly part of H.A. Fox, which sold out to the Inchcape Group a couple of years later.

Transfers of cars within the same group would be pretty normal. If the first owner was Jaguar Norwich it was probably used as a demo to make it VAT qualifying which then allows the option of onward sale/lease to a business as a used car.

My current car was pretty much the same scenario, registered by Jaguar Peterborough and owned by them for 6 months before being sold on via business lease as VAT qualifying. This was on an AE plate, rather than an O plate as it wasn't a central Jaguar Fleet car.

As SimpleR suggests, give the dealers a call. They looked mine up and gave me the background to it, that it'd only been serviced with no other issues notes.

A 'trader' will not usually count as a keeper/owner, so the car will show as 2 keepers until someone buys it even if it passes around the trade for months
 
During the recent car shortages there has been a significant number or dealers not moving cars around as normal within trade and therefore no owner cchange, but purchasing, registering and putting them on the road. Some as demos others as manager cars to replace sold cars.
My daughter just purchased a Velar and it has an extra dealer owner on it. They ran it for a week, before we made an offer and purchased it.
