Change your car with Carwow: Cloned cars are a serious issue in the UK. Some reports say there may be as many as 20, 000 cloned cars on UK streets, while other reports say the number may be much higher! To get to the bottom of how criminals do this, Mat’s turned to the dark side and is going to attempt to clone a car himself! We’ve picked up a second-hand Mk6 Golf for just 500. It was so cheap because it’s received some damage, so it’s listed as a CAT N write-off, meaning it’s received some non-structural damage which is repairable. Mat's now going to follow in a proper criminal’s steps by attempting to pass this car as another Mk6 Golf (which is in better condition, of course) and try and sell it on for a profit! We’ve enlisted the help of the RAC and Devon & Cornwall Police to see what steps criminals take to clone a car, and we’ll also share some tips on how you can make sure you don’t buy a cloned car yourself. Have you ever been the victim of a cloned car

All this is good info but about 2 days to later, professionals can now get there hands on a fresh vin and logbook and swap the details over onto the stolen car and if everything is done to high standards even dvla wont know the difference just like they can order a German manufacturer car key from German and they will send you a new key out so they can just walk up and unlock your car and drive off with it. its just got to easy for them to get there hands on equipment to steal vehicles which is a joke

Had a similar solution but the seller actually gave us the vin of the good car but then showed us the bad car which didn’t match the vin. He also parked the good car within sight from the bad car so we saw the good car before the seller got there then they brought us over to the bad car and we were like man it’s pretty obvious. That dude sped off so quick

I think the plate number should be registered on the owner and the car cannot be sold or transferrer by anyone else but the owner. So that I cant sell Jimmies car over there because the plate would belong to him not me. It wouldn't stop people from cloning cars and framing people but it would more or less stop people from being able to sell cloned cars.

It's not really as easy, I sold my old car at a pretty low price, it was lowest by thousands considering the confition, age, km, and everything because I just wanted to sell it fast. So a low price doesn't necessarily mean scam.

Back when i was buying a used car i came across so many cars that i could clearly see had crash damage repairs that where not registered and people will just deny it even if you show them how you can see it.

Its interesting that you can just have license plates made for your car in the UK. In the US we have to order them from the DMV and then a near by prison makes them for us, lol.

That ANPR test was wrong, of course ANPR would read it without the BS markings! Did anyone notice that the Police car didn’t have any BS markings on the plate

I had a family member getting weekly fines, he had to go court and prove it wasn't him. Thankfully at the times of the ticket he was at work which had cameras

Last month i just got a council road fine form an area outside of London ive never been too! Ive not replied yet. Need to get onto it soon.

I see simple solution. Why is it anyway allowed to buy plates yourself Legal ones Really One should get it from registration office and done.
reply

7: 10 so the government knows it's a problem and they still make you go through he'll to prove your innocence. Sounds about right for Brits.
reply

i dont understand why they just only option to get plates would be from the gov and v5 only. not from a different company etc.

love how he is just casually displaying to a wider audience on how to scam people, even if it is for educational purposes.

Now I know what happened to Randall from the Clerks movie. he makes number plates! Or perhaps Dante actually does the hard graft

Should use the golf as a constant in all of the drag races, so we can visually gauge how fast some of these super cars are!
