It is genuine.

It's owned by a friend of mine, or was. Her husband died last December and she's now bought a smaller van but has kept the registration I believe.

Well I'll drop my friend Ruth a line and ask her, but I can assure you the registration was genuine. I'll go to her facebook page as well and see if I can find an old photo.

Its on retention, so not assigned to any vehicle, hence no vehicle details can be found.

My friend has either sold the big van or is in the process of selling it. My understanding is that she was going to keep the registration and put it on her new van (do you want a photo of that?). Maybe she hasn't got round to that yet. ;)

I have a number on retention, and if you check via .gov. It just says there’s a problem. It’s genuine.
