Checking Car Registration - Robbie
Where can I check a car registration details? It's for a friend and the car has a personal registration so the index mark does not tally with the prefix.

I was sure that this could be done on the DVLA website but I've ben unable to find it.

Hmmmmm!!

Seems a bit fishy on personal plates. That on SWBO's Berlingo shows not found, but car can be located on it's original 05 plate.

Cherished number was transferred from retention in April this year.

here but be careful it is the dvla and often wrong

a better one is know a mate with hpi facilities and he can knock you out a vehicle identity sheet quite cheaply via the internet with full chassis and engine numbers (this is not a full hpi full check mind just identity)

IIRC it only works for the original registration.
All the cherished regs I have checked did not work.
