Is there a way to check used cars for the luxury car tax?

I, like many other people, am on the lookout for a good used car, but so many of them I see online may possibly incur the luxury tax as they may have cost £40,000.01p when new. Contacting every dealer and asking them to look up the original MRRP is not really an option, so I thought there may be another way?
