how to tell year of car?

[Travis]

Is there anyway you can tell what year your car is?lol silly question i know,its just the car had a private plate on when i bought it,i then put my own private plate on,when the logbook came back it says first registration 1998,it must be at least an m reg as thats what private plate was on before,the lad who bought it off said it was 1994?any ideas?

There should be a label on the seatbelt that tells you the year of manufacture of the seatbelt, provided the belt is original the car will be no more than 12 months later.

As already said there should be a year on the seatbelt label

if you have the standard wheels, you can see on them, too, it should be stamped.
