rabbitstew Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I often wonder where my old cars & motorbikes are. The other day I went onto the DVLA website and keyed in all the reg numbers to see if they were still on the road. Amazingly only 1 of my previous cars was still on the road and none of my motorbikes. It also told me that my Ducati 748SPS I had back in 2000 had been exported.

Click on the "vehicle enquiry" button on the left. You just key in the reg number and make of car i.e. Nissan, and it will tell you the make / model and when it was last taxed. Ideal to see if its still actually on the road. Im not sure how you can go about buying previously issued but no longer in use number plates. I guess if the car has been registered as scrapped, then DVLA will flag that plate is no longer in use, but whether or not they ever re-issue them im not sure. Normally if you have a plate on an old no longer in use car which you want to get, you have to MOT it, then you can transfer the plate onto a retention certificate.

Okay, Date of Liability is the date the last tax disc ran out. And Vehicle Status is whether or not its currently taxed. So in this case, its not been taxed since 19/11/2004. Its not been exported, so its either been sitting in someones garage since then, maybe put on the race track, or it could have been written off.

Chris`I Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 My old Zed Vehicle details could not be foundAs it has not been possible to locate the vehicle details, your enquiry cannot proceed and has been cancelled.

But, think of it as it was an organ donor and its helped loads of poorly zeds remain on the road rather than going to the big scrap yard in the sky.

Chris`I Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Haha true. Not sure anyone would want the parts from a 100k mile old 53 plate Zed though I should have kept it as a track car than let it go to some numpty who may now have written it off.

I just tried my original reg number and get the same message, so Chris`s zed may not be scrapped after all, and may still be out there but with a private plate on it. If you have a private plate on your car, the original one whilst not assigned to a car is still linked to your car, as when you transfer the private plate off the car, DVLA give you the original plate back - or at least they have done whenever ive changed plates.
