  • dvla v888 vehicle information request form

    has anyone been able to send a v888 form off to the dvla recently and get all the previous owners information back from them?

    i have sent these forms off in the past albeit 10 years ago with no problems and got valuable past history on vehicles i have owned

    i have heard that they are now reluctant to release information due to data protection.

    a friend of mine had his form sent back just after christmas saying his request did not meet the requirements even though he is the registered keeper

    any help and tips would be gratefull

    Not tried this myself, but according to the following posts on the Land Rover Series one clubs web site http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php?topic=31961.20 It looks as though the DVLA whilst giving details of the vehicle itself, no longer includes registered keepers unless there is a valid reason such as
    • where details of a previous keeper(s) are needed for court proceedings
    • finding out who was responsible for an accident
    • tracing the registered keeper of an abandoned vehicle
    • tracing the registered keeper of a vehicle parked on private land

    So yes it looks like DVLA have tightened up.

      hi john,
      thanks for the link to the landrover s1 forum replies.

      they have had exactly the same problem as the guy i know and have received what seems to be a standard template reply from the dvla.
      he got one the same.

      its just frustrating as all these historic vehicles, bikes etc will in effect loose their history forever that is not already known about.

        Yes, I too got the same pro-forma letter when I asked about the history of my Scottish recently. Shame really because got the histories of my BSA A65T and BSA Bantam some time ago.
