That's great! ;D I found myself putting in registration numbers of former cars (and motorcycles!) I owned just to see if they were still on the road! Amazingly my first J reg motorcycle that I sold back in 1999 is still going!  :o

I could not find that site, however, the service is available on the Gov website for UK Vehicles.

https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ (https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/)

I searched for my old suzuki ts100er bike but it wasnt found so i guess it met its maker hee hee it was 1979 model
:D

just checked ours
we have a private plate and i was surprised to see   my last mot    a few days ago.  then under it was mot from last year when it failed.
but under that was the last car we had the number on   a mk 1 tdi galaxy    so the history went back for both cars   a bit misleading until you studied and worked it out

i couldn't fathom why id 74000 miles  then last year 154000 !   however when i put the real reg of the current car in,   no history comes up for it as the number is not in use.  odd.

Here's another useful one.

https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Now that there are no tax discs, it's impossible to see if the oaf blocking your street is legally allowed to park there.  Now you can find out.  And have them towed if they are untaxed.

(I know parking on the street is a debatable point, legally, anyway.)

  I have had a 2000 Rover parked across the road from my drive for the last 5 months - I know it doesn't belong to anyone in my street as I know all of the neighbours cars. I checked using this service and although MOT'd it is declared SORN !   So a report was put in. Now we'll see if anyone does anything about it.

There is  a guy in the next road who seems to use my road ( not literally I know!) as a car park as he doesn't seem to want to use his drive to keep his own cars on.   I have a drive and off road parking and as I live on a corner there is approx 200 feet of parking space outside my house - which is useful to anyone needing to park - as long as it's relatively temporary - my issue is with those weasels who park over the white drive markers and what with the Rover parked across the road I cannot always get out as there is insufficient room to turn.

Rant over.

Ho hum.
