Default V888 DVLA Vehicle history

Has anyone applied for the information of their vehicle and what do you actually get?

For just £5 (unless it's gone up!) it's amazing value even though it takes a while to come through. Copies of all info held by DVLA on your car so can confirm supplying dealer and previous owners. Need to give a reason for wanting info - I put for "Car Club history file" and was successful so -Go for it.

Cheers, John

I've got the original sales receipt and some of the early stuff - it looks like the car was bought by a transport company so could well have been used as a company vehicle.

Do you just get previous owners names and addresses and the dealer the car is from? if so i have all that so will save a fiver
