I'm trying to track down my old E30 318is, license plate was H486EBV.

Does anyone on here own it or know of its whereabouts and possibly be able to put me in touch with the current owner?

Cheers

An MOT history check reveals:

MOT test number

So, you could try contacting the garage (their phone number is 070 9330 4769), and ask them to provide info on the owner...

If complying with the DPA, they'd be ill advised to do that...

Might be worth asking on the facebook group too if you've not already tried

Depending on the garage's relationship with their customer (it appears to be a small garage in the middle of nowhere), they may be willing to pass on a message, asking the owner to contact you.

How can the mot test station number be un coded to an address?

Wondered where my old one went, last mot ran out in Jan and a Colour change means money's been spent

No, a PC actually! :wink: A simple Google search for MOT history is all that was required, as per Brian's post above.

It didn't used to show addresses before only the test station number, my old one had a very chequered mot history!
Still local too
