My van is a Peugeot Boxer, X244, 2.8 HDi which was built in Jan 2006 and had the habitation side built in May 2006 but was only first registered on the 1st May 2007.
It has all the relevant stickers and labels in the engine bay to confirm the base vehicle build date and i have the Certificate of Conformity to confirm the habitation build date.
I am the first registered keeper so i know the vehicle from start of use.
When you put my registration into the parts supply company it very often tells me that i have a 2007 Peugeot Boxer, X250, 3.0 Hdi.
That is probably because my van was only registered after the X244 had ceased production so it assumes it is a newer X250.
To add to the confusion my van has a personal registration and one firm once told me i had a 1983 van because the reg is A** ***.
They used to regularly offer the wrong parts so what i then started doing was to order everything manually rather than off the registration number.
Several companies do not like this and insist on using the registration number, in that case i buy elsewhere.
