Surely it depends what information is held. For example, Tim Trent who put his car (regstration number XXX 111) in to this garage be repaired last year. He paid on his credit card number xxxxxxx. Would be personal data.

I disagree.
Tim Trent at "Old address, old company" or "Old house, Old Street, Old
Town", is not sufficient data, even with other data reasonably held, to
identify a living individual. It identifies what is now a non existent
individual. You are wise to counsel caution, of course, but this record
cannot identify Tim Trent.

You might not have their current address, but there will be enough
information to *identify* the person. Don't confuse identifying them with
being able to locate them this week.
