VIN wrong in logbook

I have just discovered that the VIN in my logbook has two errors, one wrong letter and a missing letter. The MOT certificate is correct. Is this likely to cause any problems?

i.e. should I 'let sleeping dogs lie' or must I try to get this changed by the DVLA?

Get it changed on the V5.
