just been on the dvla site to find out if a couple of old cars are still around and got this info

The enquiry is complete

The vehicle details for B32 PLR are:

Date of Liability 01 01 1999
Date of First Registration 20 05 1985
Date of Last V5 Issue 27 09 1999
Year of Manufacture 1985
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2792CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour WHITE

does anyone know what the date of liability is

 

Could you give me the link to see the info on old cars mate?

 

i was also wondering what that means

 

Date of liability = when tax/sorn expired

 

2.8 capri?

 

Link to DVLA vehicle checker

Here

Just click on the Vehicle Enquiry option on the left.

 

when tax is due again i believe

 

That site aint very accurate, this is my old car which was stolen in 1998 and yet it can still be taxed and mot`d lol

The enquiry is complete

The vehicle details for G735 WPU are:

Date of Liability 01 02 1999
Date of First Registration 01 08 1989
Date of Last V5 Issue 17 08 1998
Year of Manufacture 1989
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1597CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour WHITE
Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate Ł93.50
12 Months Rate Ł170.00

I may attempt to tax and send for a new v5 and report my findings to the Sun newspaper or something. Its only Ł93

 

Just checked my old Saff
G616 SGF

Havent seen her for about 8 years

good to see that it hasnt been nicked or smashed up

Built a really nice engine for it too

 

According to that site my car is a different colour and engine size.

Plus it had its last v5 issued in 2002 yet I bought it a couple of months back, sent the paperwork off myself and recieved a new V5. So now i have to seriously doubt its accuracy!

 

I find it very accurate, and I can end up looking at thousands of records per month

 

Wonder why my details are so wrong then

 

I mean accurate in the sense i could probably get a tax disc for that car, surely it should have marker status as stolen?

 

the check i did at the top was for an XR4x4!

so if the date of liability is when the tax/sorn etc runs out, how would you know if the car has been scrapped and so no longer around? would the dvla not carry the details anymore, i.e nothing would come up if you searched for it

just wandering thats all, it would be nice to know if some of the old cars i've had are still doing the rounds you know

 

i scrapped a car and sent back the logbook declaring that i had done, if i put in the details it comes back with date of liability 01 01 1999 and i scrapped it in 1998.

 

I checked the reg of a car I saw in a scrapyard many years back, and the DVLA have no record of it on that web thing. I have the registration plate on my wall cuz it says "C888 WHO"

Checked all the cars I've owned... none of them are stolen thankfully! Some of them say "Not available" for the vehicle status - others say "Unlicenced" and my bronze one that I got sorned recently says "SORN Not Due"
