you can check the mot history here:
https://www.gov.uk/c...history-vehicle

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

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.

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!

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