Finding registered keeper from reg

Post Sat May 23, 2015 3:35 pm

I need to find out a registered keeper address but all I have is the car reg and nothing else. How can I do this? I've been on dvla and it is sorn and was last mot'd in 2010, I know you can fill out a v888 to request info from dvla but don't know if they will give me the info as don't have reasonable cause? Thanks

You haven't a hope in hell with the DVLA.

What's the reg? Owner might be known on here.

Sounds like a little back door investigation.

Why would you like to know the keepers address?

Aide basically seen a picture of an m3 that's at the back of a garden and looks like it has been for some time, a quick dvla check revealed that the mot ran out in 2010, it also showed that it is a genuine m3 my thoughts are if the person was stupid enough to leave it there for that long in their garden that they will not know what it is worth and will sell it for the low, hence why I only have the number plate and nothing else, it was a picture I found and got in contact with the guy that posted it and he said that he saw it crop up on the internet but can't remember where from as it was a while ago

I know it seems like a long shot but it's worth a try aye

Put simply, you haven't got a chance!

I'm all for good samaritans.. but trying to locate someone because of a random online picture of someone's M3 in their back garden?

Worth a chance though, wouldn't be able to stop thinking what if

The only way to find out is via the DVLA and, as you correctly identify, you haven't got the grounds to ask. Don't blame you for thinking about it though, have done the same myself on occasion!

What is the reg ? the owner may be on here . The money you save on detective work could go towards buying it

Lots of zoners have rotting turds in their gardens, it's not to say they are for sale or will be cheap”¦ Than fook for DVLA's policy

I know but would you leave an m3 sitting in your garden rotting away for 5 years?

To the OP, is it a silver K reg M3?

Post Sat May 23, 2015 10:36 pm

It is silver and unsure of the reg will check in a bit, why do you know of it?

Post Sat May 23, 2015 10:58 pm

Yeah you got it, you seen the pic aswell then?

Post Sat May 23, 2015 11:01 pm

Not sure but think a trader type has had this sat on his driveway for a while around Oxfordshire ways.

Thank goodness you can't get someones address from their plate, every time someone fancied your car they would know where to go and nick it from

If you (bothered to) look at his other pics, you would know he knows his cars...also, there are enough clues which make figuring out how to contact him easy enough...... It is not some old granny owner, so no chance of a cheap deal I reckon.

Post Sat May 23, 2015 11:16 pm

Who's pictures?

Chill out mate.

Oh, it wasn't me that posted the pic, that wasn't the one I was on about, I think bss325i may know something about the silver K reg one I'm talking about?

The pic was posted on the zone fb page.

That's all I know.

Yeah, maybe the " bothered to" was a bit...

The rest makes sense though, he has some choice metal so knows his beans

Post Sun May 24, 2015 11:06 am

Yeah but that wasn't the one I was talking about pukar

Post Mon May 25, 2015 1:39 pm
