Hi , long story cut short , im trying to find my first car [ mini ] . I know its out there and from MOT evidence its only doing a few hundred miles a year tucked up . 

 

 Im wondering if anyone savvy or who has access to mot stuff at work could tell me what garage it was last mot'ed at from the 12 digit number of the centre avalible from the DVLA ?

 

 I know there is a database of mot test centres but it does not list the centre number against them so thats no use .

 

 I only want to know where it was mot'ed so i can hopefully look in that area on social media etc to try to find the owner or someone that knows him/her .

 

Can anyone help at all ?

Ive tried looking at that data already but nothing matches up with the 12 digit number i have from the dvla mot site report on the reg number . All the garages the car has been taken to have 12 digit numbers which do not cross check with the vosa/dvla list of mot centres !

 

 Fustrating !

 

 

 Thats why im wondering if someone [ a mot tester ] know how this works or can run the numbers etc.

 

 Car reg is A171 LWL
