About Number Plate Check
Number Plate Check looks up a UK registration number to return vehicle details from DVLA and DVSA data, including MOT history, tax status, mileage records, ownership changes, plate changes and specifications. Reports can also include performance data, emissions figures, safety recalls, and markers for stolen status, write-offs and outstanding finance. It works only for UK registrations and does not disclose the identity of the registered keeper. Checks do not alter DVLA records and the keeper is not notified.

Number Plate Check FAQ
Can I find the car owner by registration number?
No. UK data protection laws prevent disclosure of the registered keeper's identity. The check can show when ownership changes occurred and how many previous keepers there were.
Does running a number plate check affect the vehicle's record?
No. The check does not alter DVLA records, the keeper is not notified, and no record of the search is stored against the vehicle.
Can a number plate check detect a cloned vehicle?
It can show potential signs, such as a mismatch between the recorded make, model, colour or engine size and the vehicle being inspected, as well as suspicious plate change history.
