| DVLA query 15:02 - Apr 14 with 6852 views | BarrySwan |
Don't know if any of the DVLA bods on here are able to answer this query from someone on a motor forum that I frequent.
Understandably the chap has been having a bit of trouble getting a response through the normal channels. His query is:-
"Is there any way of tracing the owner of a particular reg plate?
Been looking for a personal plate the perfect plate would be D34NNA. Looking it up it's registered to a 1987 Austin, most likely the original plate that car was registered with. However the car hasn't been MOT'd since 1998.
Does anyone know if there is any way of tracing the owner of the plate? Assuming the car still exists. And if the car is scrapped, is it still possible to purchase the reg from DVLA?
Thank you for any advice that may be forthcoming |  | | |  |

Thank you I was going mad punching combinations into the MOT checker, thought I had done that one early on but tried again and bingo.

Still are called that in many circles. |  |

The police up here stop bikes at weekends and do them for having incorrect spacing on their number plates. Never heard of them stopping a car though. |  |

Just sold our bog standard 51 reg mark V70 with well over 300k miles on clock, lovely family car that saw our kids through to adulthood. Did consider retaining the reg for sentimentality. That would have been a cherished transfer. But Warwick correct my penis indiscernible. |  | | |

It's a shame really as it's attached to a car last driven in 2012 - I've always been amazed they never sold the plate as it is rather unique. |
They’re all unique, you daft twät. |  | | |

“Not totally true any more. Any plates of cars seized by the Police for whatever reason and any registrations whose retention certificates have not been renewed are retained by the DVLA and can be bought. In fact all retained numbers on 18th December 2019 whose retention certificates had expired were taken back by the DVLA to be re-sold. Typically they did this without any warning to owners - I picked it up in Classic Car Weekly just in time!'
He’s wrong. Almost completely. [Post edited 14 Apr 2020 19:17]
