Who Owns A Car?

[STE_vie]

Is there a website where you can put a reg in and see what the cars status is?? ie scrapped, sorned, taxed etc and who owns the car?

While doing some sorting the other day i found an old tax book belonging to a car i sold but never gave the fella the book. Wondering is it still in my name?

Nope. No can do under data protection. You can send in a notification to County Hall if you're that bothered though.

Well the fella who bought it was a little dodgy! But its like 5/6 years ago? Why do i say i never notified them before?

you can use www.askmid.com to find out if it's insured and on the road or

http://www2.carparts-cat.com/autoxs/vrm.aspx?SID=0019560211337419088004

will bring you up all other details on the car.

There's no way of finding out who owns a particular car unless you have a friend in the PSNI or DVLNI who will look it up for you.

Doesnt matter Stevie, just shread it, the new owner would have applied for a tax book costing him £25

ok well its not insured but came up on the other site with logbook details. Would this mean it hasnt been scrapped?? (was fit for it 6/7 years ago!!)

Seriously Stevie its absolutly no odds what so ever, the guys obv ordered a new taxbook otherwise he wouldnt have been able to tax or, scrap it or do anything with it! Just shread it!

Just because it comes up on that other site doesn't mean it's still on the road. I slid my scooby up the road on her lid 5 years ago and it still brings up the details lol.

It's a handy site if you ever need chassis numbers etc tho.
