Default How to locate my old car?
I'm trying to find my old car, is there any way this can be done i.e. to find the current owner/location? I've done the common 'free' checks such as DVLA's vehicle enquiry but is there any way to dig deeper?

I would like to know this as well,
problem is most of mine have had my private plate on so I guess they would be impossible to trace ?

I think the searches are logged, pretty sure one of the coppers on here said this was a no no.

Speak to a car dealer as there used to be a full comprehensive HPI check that could be carried out and it would bring up current owners name and address

Why on earth would you want an old car back? Just buy one the same?

A friend did this and got his cheque sent back and told categorically NO by the DVLA, they would not even contact the owner on his behalf either
