Question Buying a new car - HPI Check question

While looking through an extensive service history of a car I've put a deposit on, I found an Experian AutoCheck from 2010. It has a message from the DVLA/DVLNI saying "Car was used before first registration. Car used before being registered in the UK."

The year of first registration and year of manufacture are both 2004. So what does this mean? Is it anything to worry about?

When was the car produced and when was it registered?

Never heard of that before. Used for what? It must be legal though, surely?

Well the person who HPI'd it obviously thought it was ok because they bought it.

My neighbour had one of them before he had a porsche cayenne v8 and then a bmw z4 m (same engine as the m3)

Said it was more fun than both of the latter as it could be taken to the limit and would have another any day .

Although hes looking at nissan gtr for this summer... Oh dear
