you can check the mot history here:

I think you can ask the dvla for details about previous owners.

hi i have sent of for the history and i have not received anything yet and its been 2 weeks does it take longer than this? or do i hear anything of them? cheers tom 

[mab01uk]

DVLA will take at least 2 weeks to reply with info.........you will get a copy of the full ownership history as long as you are the current registered keeper.

[ToM 2012]

well i sent the logbook of 2 weeks before the history would that confuse them? 

[mab01uk]

If you are not listed as owner when they do the actual history check they will probably return your £5 and you may have to re-send it when you get the V5 back in your name.......they won't give details to anyone but the current or a previous owner. Hopefully it will all work out ok!

[ToM 2012]

cheers for that will let you no what happens.

Don't hold your breath as it can take a month or so to get details of previous owners.
