Have you ever wondered if your first car is still on the road the head over to Directgov.

Below is the result of My Ford Fiesta RS  Turbo, which i owned for about 8/9 months way back 2004. You can see where it says Vehicle Status Unlicensed, i would guess that it is untaxed and or declared off the road.

Ok here is the result for my Toyota Starlet GT Turbo that i owned for around 1 year back in 2005/2006.

Clearly still been used on the road which i fully expected, and due to be re taxed soon.  Notice how cheap the tax is which the car been a  Japanese import.

And lastly the Ford Sport Ka SE which i sold only a few months ago. Showing that the Road Tax Liscene isnt due yet. But with the Sport Ka been newer it shows the C02 Emissions which are rather high.

This information is all pulled from the DVLA database of vehicle records.  so as long as you know your cars old registration number then you can find out quite a bit of information out about it.
