Crossing from UK to France and back on the same day in the same car but with different drivers

Crossing from UK to France and back on the same day in the same car but with different drivers - Top view composition of shells assorted sizes arranged randomly on beige surface

I am probably going to have to lend my French-registered car to a relative for his trip to the UK. The day he returns to France I am supposed to be driving to the UK myself in the same car.

Both trips were planned independently of each other a long time ago, but nothing has yet been booked for either crossing and it was only recently that my relative realised he would need to use my car.

Ignoring logistical problems like boats being late, etc, is this likely to cause any major problems with the UK Border Agency or other agencies?
