The vehicle description is wrong on the V5C - what should I do?
I am looking at buying a motorcycle and when I checked the MOT status online it states that the model of the bike is different to what it actually is. For anyone who knows bikes, the one I am looking at is a Honda Africa, the DVLA seems to have it registered as a Honda Africa Adventure Sport which although very similar is slightly different.

It is possible that there is an error in the DVLA's information, but the only way to be certain would be to view the bike in person so you can check the VIN for yourself, and check for any other features that would confirm it is a Honda Africa. If there is a genuine error then you can value the bike accordingly and notify the DVLA if required.
