Default How can I check vehicle age online with a MANX number plate

Hi guys as above. I just need to know the age of a car which apparently is not evident from the number plate itself.

Any help will be great

thanks

DVLA have a website which has a vehicle check section.
This shows the year, colour and when the tax is due

Not 100% if it's just for mainland car regs though?

you should be able to get the year of manufacture from the VIN - try entering it here..

Vehicle Identification Number - VIN Numbers: Free online search for car or truck VIN numbers. Find information on auto decoders and DMV record links.

hi albob, thanks for the link matey. The problem is this car is in an impound as it is a salvage car likewise I only have the number plate to it. I wanted to do a check to make sure of what year the car is so I can put my maximum bid in

So far I have come across vin checks but no number plate checks.

Btw do you think attempting an online insurance quote could get me the year of the car or even if i ask one of our good old friends Gary Moulson and Lucko

cheers
