Enter your reg, tick the box and check you're on the Motor Insurer's Database. Of course you can also be nosy and check on other people and grass them up if necessary

Bookmarked, Cheers!

I thought they didn't accept fax copies for Tax, unless you're very lucky and they don't notice or don't care.

Haha, I (might have

) tried it with two zeros! Oops!

I should add I only (might have

) searched your's after doing all of our's and I was reading the thread on your VX220!

Odd, according to that website my dads Toyota Supra Turbo which is currently SORN & not insured as it's been sat in storage for 6 months has suddenly turned into a Nissan 100NX & is on the insurance database :confused:

Can I point out you shouldn't be searching registrations other than those that are registered to yourself?

oweneades · 27 Oct 2007 at 23:37

What a garbage website.

According to that my car isn't insured. I have the insurance documents on the table next to me clearly stating it as insured. . . WTF?!

I had a heart attack a second ago when I put my car through it said I wasnt insured, but it was a typo lol.

MrMatteh · 28 Oct 2007 at 00:41

both mine come back as insured, despite one not been so for 3 weeks!

BigglesPiP · 28 Oct 2007 at 01:41

This seems to be the best way to find the engine too, it's the only one that's worked for "7", which I used to see on a Bently from time to time, it's on a Bike now, appartently.

Aaaaah nuts, it stops telling you what the car is after a while. But 1 and 2 appear to belong to the same bloke, BMW 530i and BMW 545i.

This site seems so random, just went through loads of reg's on my books and a lot of them are aparently not insured, and some come up as insured but dont come up with any details whatsoever, such as my current mercedes.

Potentially cool, but seems a touch innacurate!

Bit of a stupid statement it's not like people are going to abide by it. As per this thread people are running up every man and their dog's reg

Cheers for playing the do gooder though

duvet77 · 28 Oct 2007 at 01:27

mmm... either i'm not insured or i can't remember my reg!

For company vehicles it is the responsibility of the policy holder to ensure that their company vehicle details are provided for MID. To find out more about this please contact your insurance provider.

this is prolly why people on here with company vehicles are not showing as insured?
