Just spent 4 fabulous years living and working in India. Whilst there I got lucky and purchased a UK Spec 2014 Disco 4 SE from the UK government with only 18000 verified miles on the clock. I now need to register with the DVLA. As it's over 10 years and never registered in EU I don't need to do the vehicle check (hurrah I think); however, I do need the details to enter in the V55 - anyone able to help please and thank you

Hello and welcome 
Thanks all for the replies joy. Sadly because it was a government car there is no CoC (who new there was such a rule - I didn't) - I have pushed hard with Land Rover but it's not gonna happen. Next step is my local dealership to see if they have the info or whether I can crib off another vehicle. Once I have won (!) I will let people know how it can be done.
Not sure if of use. Following a couple of chats with DVLA they have said that as the car is over ten years I do not need to fill in the boxes that relate to the CoC. I should just complete as many boxes as possible, supply the supporting evidence, pay the money and then submit. We will see!
