About registration plate changes

Most of the time plate changes are not a sign of any problems. A previous owner may just have wanted to hang on to the registration plate of their previous car for sentimental reasons.

However, a plate change could be a sign of fraud, so make sure you check the vehicle’s history and physical condition carefully. Check out our guides to inspecting a car and inspecting a vehicle’s documents.

Colour change details

We have no record of any colour changes in this vehicles history.

About colour changes

There’s no accounting for taste - and most of the time colour changes are not a sign of any problems. A previous owner may have resprayed the vehicle. Or there may just be a discrepancy in how two people saw it - a previous owner may have described a dark grey car as black when filling out the registration documents.

However, colour changes can also be an attempt to pretend a written off vehicle is a different one (ie one that hasn’t been damaged). Make sure you check the vehicle’s history and physical condition carefully. Check out our guides to inspecting a car and inspecting a vehicle’s documents.

Previous keeper details

We have no record of any previous keepers for this vehicle.

How to understand this information

This information shows you how many previous keepers the vehicle had and the dates the ownership changed. Look out for several changes in a short period - it could mean the car had a mechanical or other problem and so was sold on quickly.

If you see 0 previous keepers, the car is still registered to its original keeper - so you would be owner 2. If, for example, it shows 4 previous owners, the current owner is the fifth owner and you will be number six.

Who the owners were

The name of the keeper is covered by Data Protection and is not normally released to AutoCheck by the DVLA. However the names and addresses of the last two keepers are shown on the V5C, the Vehicle Registration Certificate. You can contact those keepers to ask about the car.

Please note that the keeper is not necessarily the owner, it may be a company car or belong to a third party (such as the keeper’s parent).
