The vehicle details for L194 VLC are: Date of Liability 01 08 2008 Date of First Registration 16 11 1993 Year of Manufacture 1993 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1984CC Fuel Type Petrol Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Registration Number L194VLC Make/Model VOLVO 850 GLT AUTO

G-MANN ◊ 2011-01-11 13:43	Well, it was built in 1993, that's what I like to go by.
DAF555 ◊ 2011-01-11 13:51	The autoindustry has used modelyears for their products for more than a century now, applying other dates to the vehicles only cause more confusion. What´s the point in that?
G-MANN ◊ 2011-01-11 14:09	So if a vehicle was registered in the autumn or winter or a year, we have to put the next year? -- Last edit: 2011-01-11 14:09:10
Ingo ◊ 2011-01-11 14:10	No, it's not about the registration of a specific vehicle, it's about the release of the model/model-year
DAF555 ◊ 2011-01-11 14:30	G-MANN wrote So if a vehicle was registered in the autumn or winter or a year, we have to put the next year? Not necessarily, since the database only shows when the vehicle was put into traffic there are some vehicles sold late that might belong to the actual calender year. Or if they are really late even to the previous. There will always be some exceptions, but if there are no other details on the car to tell if it belongs to a specific modelyear it´s more probably right to use the following year if it´s registered in the fall.
