Private plate question

[AlanHarrison]

Hi Guy's,

We have a local celebrity who is driving round in his range rover with a private plate on, he swaps his car about every 18 months (I think when his royalties come in from his Christmas song.. lol)

When I saw him in his newest range rover, I did a reg check using my mobile app & it come back saying no data found, so I assumed that he'd just transferred it... I saw him again in the same range rover so did the reg check again & still shows no data...

is there some kind of loop hole with putting a private plate on & not registering it to a car?

Many thanks in advance

Ash

Probably his insurance broker has forgotten to update the MID

It’s not even showing the reg plate being registered to the vehicle..

The data companies have to pay for the info, hence they only update a couple of times a year.

Basically stop being a nosey prick

Has his friend Stan got a funny old man?

No.

Unless your daddy sells cars from a puddle.

Why check it anywhere but DVLA? https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Are we mixing up O & 0 or something similar?

I was actually interested in what year it was as I was looking for one myself... nothing strange in that
