Why Check the Registered Keeper of a Vehicle?

When it comes to buying a new auto or trading your old one, paperwork is probably the last thing on your mind. Sorting the paperwork to change a vehicle's registered keeper, on the other hand, is a crucial component of the procedure. Fortunately, getting things straightened up is generally very simple.

​

When do you need to locate a vehicle's registered owner?

​

There are a few reasons why individuals would need to know who owns a car registration data.

After an accident, if a car has been left or parked on private property, or if someone has driven away without paying for something, the police or parking enforcement officials may search for this.

You should also search for this if you have any doubts about a secondhand automobile, you're thinking about buying or if the V5 logbook is missing. If the logbook cannot be supplied in this situation, you should walk away from the transaction and call the forces as soon as possible if you think the automobile is being sold illegally.

How to locate a vehicle's registered owner

​

If you want to discover out who owns an automobile, you'll need to fill out one of the following four forms from the DVLA:

• If you're requesting an individual - V888.

• If you're a firm that issues parking or trespassing fee notifications, you'll want to use V888/3.

If you're a different kind of business:

• V888/2A - to obtain the car owner's contact details

• V888/2B - to obtain vehicle-specific data, such as insurance information.

Why should everyone buy a previously registered owner check?

​

You can ask the DVLA for information on the formerly registered keeper of the used car by filling out the V888 form. Based on the reason you mentioned, there's a possibility you'll obtain or won't get the data. With simply a car registration number, Auto Experts makes your searches quick and easy.

​

The work history will show if the maintenance work has been done before. Then inquire about the maintenance work with the previous keepers. It's also easy to verify whether an automobile has had maintenance work done in more than three or four separate places. This implies the car has had three or four prior keepers.
