Found something cool about my car

I was doing some searches online about my car, mot checks etc etc and 1 found that it needed a lot of work at one point:

Nearside Headlamp insecure (1.7.3)

Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)

Nearside Rear michelin 235-45zr17 Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)

Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)

Corrosion on both outer sills

Age cracking on o/s/f tyre

But not only this was a uber late registration. In fact it was registered on the last day of Decemeber in 1995 almost making it a 1996 reg car. Just thought that was quite nice to find i gained some months on her life!

Didn't you see when it was registered on the log book? Or is that what you mean?

I still dont have the log book. Hence my searching this morning.

Well this is a revelation, didn't know you could do this, worth checking before you buy a car.

I didn't no either, can you do it just on the reg number or do you need logbook number etc?

You just pop the reg number in and one of the reference codes from a past mot. Mine is missing a lot being from Ireland but the uk ones are nice and accurate.

Cool I shall do this!

Where do you look up this info!?

Dvla web site bud

I may be being dumb, but where on the DVLA site?

Cheers mate

Just checked mine, never failed an mot for anything more than a light not working or tyres since import in 1996

If its a fresh import none of that info will be logged its worth noting. Just previous mot work in the uk

Bugger caved in roof on mine, is that a failure or advisory:d

Thanks for this. Worn tread and occasional number plate lamp failure. Happy days

Where do you look up this info!?

There wont be much on your car mate you were first uk owner.
