Do you mean that your chassis number doesn't match your ADR tag or that your body number on the trim tag doesn't match the VIN tag?
If it is the chassis number and ADR tag then your van has had a replacement chassis at some time, if it is the body number and the VIN not matching, then that is the norm. It is rarer to find a body number matching the VIN than not, if it is on a van or ute that has had an Adelaide built body assembled with a chassis at any other plant in Australia, then it is almost guaranteed to be non matching. I currently have 2 HQs, 3 HXs, and 2 HZs in my yard, and out of all of them only one has matching tags, VIN to body tag and chassis to ADR tag.

That car is my HQ Premier wagon, which according to records held by Byron also has its original engine number on the block, although there are some anomalies with the casting date. This car has only two spots of rust in the entire shell and they are in the doglegs between the rear wheel arches and the sills on both sides.
