Not unless you have someone with access to the police database, its pretty impossible...

And personal use of that is a sackable offence...

[lankyjames]

Oh yes, forgot to mention that!
There is of course mini forums, shows etc, get the word out,and you may hear of it!

I always thought the information was available from the DVLA for a small fee?

Looks like It's time to speak to my police friend then doesn't it

How do you mean track it? Do you mean location and owner? Do the DVLA give out that sort of info even for a fee? Wouldn't of thought that legal in this day and age.
You can check on DVLA site to see if the reg is still in circulation and associated with a mini but that's about it isn't it?
As previously mentioned, forums are probably your best bet.

Had a dig around and you are correct. I suspect what I'm thinking of is information available to registered keepers of a vehicle, though I can't find a reference to that either.

Probably the best start would be to put the registration up here so it'll come up should anyone do a search on their reg plate. What does the DVLA number check tell you about it?
