Bristol LEZ

My granddaughter recently visited Bristol. Being aware of the
LEZ she went onto .gov.uk clean air web page to check her
vehicle's status. She received a reply showing her vehicle's
detail were correct and a message
There is a problem with your vehicle. This number plate may
have been used on another vehicle.
I've done another check today but that message doesn't show up.
My thoughts are that as it's a 'personal' plate in a LN LLL
layout perhaps it's a reference to a previous user of that
registration (if there was one) but she has had it for seven
years without problems.

Update:
No cloning involved.
Bristol replied by phone stating the message was in error but
couldn't explain why.
In fact, the registration was transferred from her previous car
to the current one so it had been used on another vehicle but by
the same person.

Ive had a similar experience when registering a change of car
(but not number plate) for the Dartford Crossing.
Registering always shows the old car but a phone call soon
rectifies this. I have been told each time that the make of car
is of little importance, they are only really interested in the
registration number.
Of course, this would be a different matter where emissions are
involved (CAZ) but as long as you know your vehicle complies I
doubt that there would be a problem.
I cannot imagine that the authorities cross-check every make and
model. More likely, the authority would use the database
information it had available and, if the 'old' car complied, the
reg number would continue to be accepted.
As long as you know the new car complies and the registration
number has been transferred correctly then it is hardly your
fault if their database has not been updated.
