I thought it would be on the DVLA's online vehicle enquiry database but it doesn't seem to be.

that means it's no more. sorry mate.

if it's sorned it will show up, but will say the date when last taxed. if it's scrapped, it won't show up. pretty sure that's how it works.

Not really. Unlicensed vehicles (whether scrapped or SORN'ed) are kept on the database, with the last date of liability. But this doesn't bring any details up at all.

My old Mk1 Capri was still taxed until a couple of years back, suspect that may have gone for scrap now, it was a bit crusty in 1989 !

odd. my old car got scrapped and now doesn't show in their database for some reason. (was only a 1996 car!)

Officially scrapped cars may disappear, but many don't (possibly the DVLA don't know).

The car could be on a different plate, in which case it wouldn't show, but in all likelihood it has been crushed.

thanks mate for your help

^ You missed the 'EFA'. Statistically it is pretty likely

Anyway, in all seriousness there aren't many Marina drivers here - you're better off enquiring on the Marina owners forum. Even if the car is long gone, someone may have owned it or known it at some point to fill in the blanks of what happened to it!

Very funny I can tell you the Morris Marina was the 3rd popular car of its Time but not those gas guzzling B**stard mobiles that you drive
