You can do a DVLA vehicle search. I would not be to hopeful of finding the vehicle. It looks as though it has been off the road for 35 years.
Apologies, I cut off the Reg number on the screen shot.

Does this only work on certain reg no’s? I put a range of numbers from vehicles I have owned, some came up but others weren’t recognised.

Basically yes, it isn’t actually a very good site, the older the vehicle the less chance of a hit, the info is mostly what’s known anyway, only if it shows the vehicle is still taxed is the only indication it might still be running, sometimes the info is wrong too. Franky.

I think whether or not a vehicle is on the data base sometimes is the point at which they were last taxed. After a date in either the very late 70s or early 80s the DVLA updated and vehicles not on the system would have been lost. Vehicles from the pre DVLA do not appear to have records archived (I stand to be corrected). Going forward the Statutory off road notice (SORN) was introduced and if a vehicle was scrapped I think it was a requirement to declare that. I assume that once scrapped the vehicle disappears from the data base.
