I have a conumdrum
My old Silver punto which I owned for 8 years appears to have completely disapeared.
If I look on the Government website to check its Tax Status the car comes up as not listed (YS54EKL)
If I look on the motor insurance database the car is showing as not insured.
If I look on the likes of GSF or Euro car parts and put that number plate in it does come back as the correct car.
I had a private plate on it and I have that private plate on my current car, So i thought maybe someone has changed the plate. That would then make sense that the car doesn't come up on the DVLA website, that said, If i put the original plate of my current car into the likes of GSF or Euro car parts, it doesn't come up, the plate is not registered to any car and the website sees that.
If a car gets scrapped it still appears on the DVLA for example my old Punto HGT which got scrapped still shows when it was last taxed and MOTd in 2013, this also applies if a car is stolen, so its unlikely its been scrapped or written off.
It seems that the DVLA still holds a record of the car's exsistance hence why GSF, insurance companies and alike can still pull up the cars details if queried. however the DVLA themselves won't give details on this car anymore.
My question is what's happend to it, has it been Exported? is this what happens if a car is exported or could there be another reason for its disaperance from the DVLA website?
I sold it just under 4 years ago in March 2016, the guy who bought it came all the way from manchester to Norfolk, and it did appear on their for a couple of years but now its vanished.
Can you explain this mystery?
