Previous registered keepers
Discussion
Evening folks, just a quick question I'm hoping the hive mind can answer.
I was told that one of my cars was first registered to a dealer. I'm the fourth owner and I'd like to know if this is true or not - is there a way of finding out who the previous registered keepers on your car is? I'd also like to find out who owned my Mini as it has 18 (yes, eighteen) former keepers since '81. The car I'm interested in is 4 years old.

Not quite what you asked but this website will give you number of previous keepers and last change of keeper.

Put any email address and mileage in. No need to register.
DVLA will supply details of previous keepers upon request. I think there's a form.
ETA: Form V888

Why does it matter? Its the first question everyone always asks, and to my mind just about the last one that matters? Im pretty certain i would rather have umpteen former careful keepers rather than me from new, cars can rack up owners quite quickly with plate changes, address changes, divorces, company to private, death etc etc. non of it changes what the car is today, and the chances of you knowing the person before is soo slim it makes not a jot of difference knowing their name. Love hearing the guys who have bought a 1 owner car "it belonged to a company manager" yeah right, mr avis, 1 owner, 100s of careless drivers. In the op's case it seems its already his car, so nothing he finds out will change what he owns.
People need to focus far more on what they are buying now rather than the story from the past. There are some right heaps of 1 owner full history cars out there

No it doesnt. But swapping a plate from a car in my name onto lets say a new car for wife, the easiest way is to put wifes new car into my name to do transfer then change her car into her name, thus adding another owner. There are lots of scenarios where another owner is added who may never use it.
