Tracing a car's history

[JamieG]

Apologies but may have posted in the wrong section! ( few sherbets too many) I'm trying to chase the history of a car that was on the family when I was learning to drive and seem to remember there was a DVLA website telling you if the car was still on the road. Just wondered if anyone knew the linky? Thanks in advance, Jamie

You can check if your own car is insured here.

Well, you can check if it's currently insured on AskMid (usually a good indication) [Although it is technically illegal - read the wording on the site]
Other than that, not sure about checking for a specific car, sorry.
ETA: too late

This is the DVLA website that will tell you if the car is currently taxed.
