Actually, I found this one quite useful when I was recently shopping
around for a new motorbike. I was slightly suspicious of one guy who
insisted on bringing the bike to me for a test drive instead of
revealing his home address or home telephone number. I took down the
registration number at the time and discovered that although he appeared
to have all the bike's documents including what appeared to be a valid
tax disc, according to DVLA website it had been untaxed for over a year.
I reported it to the police and it transpired that the bike was stolen
and that the mobile number used for the advert went off-line the next
day.

If you go to www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk you can do a search of the DVLA
database using a registration number and vehicle make.
The information returned covers date of last issue of a V5, when the tax
is due, and emmissions details.
All very interesting for someone who wants to try and get just that bit
more information about you! Although the information is reasonably easy
to get anyway via other means, but it is interesting to look at
non-the-less.
Simon Howarth.
