This is not a probability of success.

DVLA say that it isn't if you try to check the RFL status and MOT history ???

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

WX52XXF I recently bought a 996 Turbo (blind, on my sofa, with no research whatsoever…) at auction. Turns out the service book has been lost, so I am trying to trace the history. The plate is WX52XXF - black manual Turbo. I’d be very grateful if anyone knows the car. And yes, I am aware I’m an idiot and that’s the worst possible way to buy a car. As luck would have it, she’s running like a dream so far. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Is this reg number correct ? DVLA say that it isn't if you try to check the RFL status and MOT history ??? Do a Google search on "Is a car taxed" and go to the GOV website ????

Comes up as a 2002 Ford Ka, for me
