    The merlin website used to be able to tell you when last taxed etc. Dont think you can get the info very easily anymore though

    Privacy of the new owners, thieves looking for a car to swipe...

    The only people who can find out where they are, are the people who work in the VRO. The Merlin thing was just like motorcheck etc - it still wont tell you where the car is.

    No you can't pay for that info, it's protected under privacy laws!

    Yeah I meant for getting other details, not for the location or owner of the car
