  1. If it has been previously registered then DVLA will use that number. If it came back registered and clean all you'd need to do is apply for the log book. DVLA would check with the previous recorded keeper and then, assuming it was all ok, send you the certificate out. If it came back unregistered and clean you'd have to go through the normal Used Vehicle Registration process. If it came back stolen, on finance etc then the people with an interest in it are notified - and you'd be best staying clear. If you don't have it checked and then try to register it you could (will) end up with a problem if it has a dodgy history. Any Enduro or Trail bike which doesn't have a log book in the current owner's name should be checked. Why would anyone buy a new enduro or trail bike (and pay a premium over a motocross bike) and then not register it for road use? Some enduro bikes don't get registered but most do.
  2. They certainly do you're right - but they certainly won't do a VIN check for you if you call them.
  3. It is possible to find the Registration from the VIN (frame number). I have a Trade HPI account which does it. I type in the VIN and the report comes back with any information held on the vehicle. If there's no information on that VIN then the result will be "No Records Found". A couple of points to note: 1. The check runs on the exact number entered - any mixed up/un clear numbers will give a false result. 2. All records held for the vehicle will be returned; make, model, year, reg number, accidents, theft claims, theft reports and sometimes some other bits. A word of caution. If I HPI a vehicle and it shows up as stolen I'm obliged to call the Police Station dealing with the incident - all other people with a HPI trade account have to do the same. If the bike has been reported stolen and is on the police database they will come asking. If you bought the bike in good faith it's unlikely you'd be charged but the bike could be confiscated. DVLA, the police and normal HPI check companies won't do a VIN check.
  4. Sorry folks but due to some trouble brewing I've had to remove the photos and the text. Some of you will be lucky enough to see the bike being ridden I'm sure.
