Advise the DVLA.You don't say when he is going or the time he has to rectify the situation.
Is this a new van?Who registered the vehicle originally?

As 'AD' says this is a job for DVLA as it concerns the V5 document. Any errors must be reported and can only be corrected by them. Would be very interesting to know just how such a glaringly obvious error could be made.
Unfortunately they are only open Mon-Fri.

I would suggest he checks the vin number, chassis number etc, sounds like the wrong docs/reg has been put on that vehicle.
Do an online vehicle check.
You can also check the MOT records now, at least as far back as computerisation.

Hope its not a RINGER !!!!!!!!!!
sounds like the converter has forewarded the original chassis/cab details to DVLA instead of the new details....ie upgraded alko chassis and the tag axle increasing the gross weight and No of axles.
