how to find a previous owned car
hi all
does anyone know if there is a way of finding the whereabouts of a previously owned car.
my dad used to own a capri and it was his pride and joy but when younger, me and brother forced him to sell it to get a new car.
we are now thinking of seeing if its still going and if so, see if the owner would sell.
i know its a long shot but would like to buy it for him as a retirement present.
thanks
steve

First check to see if has up to date insurance I guess - that can be done at the link below, assuming the number plate hasnt been changed for private
ofcourse.

And use the DVLA vehicle enquiries webby to find if its still registered and/or taxed.

would it say scrapped if this was the case?

I think it would, I believe they don't show up on the search if they are scrapped. I think it's probably SORN.
Getting the information on current ownership out of the DVLA is very hard, and requires a really good reason (usually legally related).
