Car Details from Registration

[Geezer]

I'm sure I've read on here about a site where you can get car details from the registration for free but I can't find it. I know about www.mycarcheck.com but I'm sure there's another one. Any ideas guys?

What details do you need?

There used to be a car parts site online that gave you a VIN from a registration number but that is no longer up iirc.

If you are just after a make and model from the index then that's much easier.

That link has timed out. I only want basic details and I'm sure there was a site that displayed a sample picture of the vehicle in the right colour.

The Eurocarparts site will tell you the model from the registration as will many spares outlets.

On this link it will give Make & model Year and engine size.
Type in the registration on the car check £14.99 It will not charge you but it will only give the info I stated. For more then you pay the £14.99

Hope this helps

In summary, this is what the popular free registration searches offer:

[TABLE="head;"]Site|Make|Model|Year|Colour|Engine size|Whether insured|Notes
DVLA Vehicle Enquiry|Yes|Yes|Yes|Yes|Yes||It's definitive and provides further info, but you need to know the manufacturer and you have to click through from the "Vehicle Enquiry" link
RAC Car Data Check |Yes|Yes|Yes||Yes|||
HPI Check|Yes|Yes|Yes||Yes|||
Tyre Shopper |Yes|Yes|Yes|Yes|||Not always fully up to date (which can be useful) but sometimes gives odd results
Euro Car Parts|Yes|Yes|Yes||||
AskMID |Yes|Yes||||Yes|Requires CAPTCHA entry and acceptance of T&Cs; only free for a vehicle you are permitted to drive.
[/TABLE]

I tend to use Tyre Shopper or HPI Check for a quick check, and will back this up with the DVLA site if I need to be sure of the results.
