You need to check the registration on the car against the details on the V5. Make sure also to run a full HPI check before committing to buy. Are you sure that it's not something simple like your confusing a 0 with an O?:)

It's unusual that a reg wouldn't show unless you're getting one of the digits wrong. If you manage to get the VIN number I can do a VIN lookup for you.
