DVLA Can't Find Vehicle....Why ??

[Moped Rider]

On several  "Vin to Reg" sites my vehicle shows up.....DVLA say they have no details of it !!......just wondered why, as these Vin to Reg. sites get their information from DVLA .......very strange.....

Do they?

most are actually fake!!

 

they dont get their data from the dvla, mostly from hacked motor insurance databases.

 

the reg number return will not be correct, thats why the dvla cant find it.

 

So you have no paperwork for the bike at all?

That's interesting, thanks.....no paperwork at all, I knew that when I bought it, but have done it before with no problems.....bad move on my part I think.....The bikes original reg. no. was transferred away from it in 2002, so it SHOULD have been given another reg. by DVLA.....they said they could find it with the VIN, but now say they can't......

well just reregister it again.

Yes, that seems to be the way forwards......have to get an ageing certificate, an MOT, get it insured (to ride up to MOT station) and then send off form V55/5 I think it is.....just annoying that DVLA told me, when sending off form V62, to leave reg. no. blank, and then sent a letter saying "We cannot send a logbook, because you have not provided a valid registration".......but that's DVLA I guess.......

my neighbour  had an old jag just like that.

 

he re registered it as from new (funny for a 1974 car!!)

 

they eventually came back after 18mts, having already allowed it to be re reg'd put back on the road da-di-da, saying they'd found all the old details now and here it is. even giving the old pre personalized number plate change number, which caused it all in the 1st place with the old owner. (a house of lords member!).  its now correctly running under its old org reg and doing well at rally's.

I've sent off another V62, this time including what I believe could be the current reg. no......but fully expect to get my 25 quid postal order, and another form V55 back in about 6 weeks...still no rush, it could take 18 months or so to refurbish the old girl.......
