Default Car history

Is there any way you can find the complete history of your car? as in where and what dealer it was first regestered with, all the names and addresses of every regestered owners etc etc....

I know you can get hpi checks but tbh they dont really tell you much apart from if its stolen/millage/finance on it etc, just wandering if you can get a complete history list from dvla??...

Would be nice to work out all my stacks of service history i have on my car

Cheers

you can get a v888 form from the dvla website cost a £5 that will give you the supplying dealer and all name's and address's of previous owners takes 8 weeks to get back but then you can google the names and address's and get the phone numbers to see if any the owners have any history.

just checked the dvla site and indeed you can reqest that though a v888 form, however it seems like you have to provide a very good reason to request the information you need, so trying to request the entire owner history i doubt will happen......
