supra900bhp Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hi guys I have seen a car I would like to buy (if owners selling for the right price) but it's sat in a private car park for over a year so a friendly neighbor told me (only 5 houses) but they have no idea who's it is as it just turned up and sat there ever since. Done a very quick check and it's not taxed but is sorned!! And last mot was in February 2014 so ended in 2015 Any idea how to find the owner so I might have a new toy or will I have to find another car and probably pay loads for it Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Only the dvla can give you that information or the police and for obvious reasons they don't just give it out. You will need a very compelling argument and even then they probably won't due to data protection laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra900bhp Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Have you tried leaving a note? I would but it has cobwebs all over it leaves and just generally out in all weathers so don't think it would stay readable for to long and like I was told it was parked one day and sat there since then so guessing probably not cared for or just got more money than brain cells lol But guess it's worth ago nothing to lose and possibly a lot more to gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Try here and scroll down to finding registered keeper and try your luck https://www.gov.uk/guidance/abandoned-vehicles-council-responsibilities You could also buy it off the land owner as it is deemed abandoned all they have to do is put a notice of removal and the owner has 15 days to claim the vehicle after that the land owner can sell the vehicle or have it crushed.
