Requesting information about a vehicle from DVLA
DVLA can be approached for information request if you need to
know about ‘your vehicle’ or ‘a vehicle and its registered owner’ on the
premise that you have an acceptable aim.
Note the type of details that you can get from the Driver and
Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) about a vehicle, for this purpose you will need
the vehicle’s registration number.
Car Analytics provides free vehicle checks , sourced by the DVLA so that you can get all the information you need at one place, and access all the important information you need before buying a used car.
