As with all large government databases, there are errors in this dataset especially since quite a lot of the data for older vehicles is based on paper records that were originally maintained by local authorities.
The most common error that crops up is vehicles that don't have exactly the correct model variant recorded on their V5 registration document. For example, a special edition Peugeot Gentry might only have Peugeot recorded on its V5.
