It looks like you are somehow only reading the first 8 characters in each date and then trying to convert that to a date, but that doesn't explain the switching of days and months.

if you take the first date, for example and cut off the last 2 characters you get this: 16/05/19 which when converted to a proper date will add in the century of 20 to give you this: 16/05/2019

Can you post your code and a few records from the CSV?
