Does Carfax find previous owners?
Carfax will give you a complete history of your vehicle's current and past owners using its VIN. Unfortunately, it may not disclose the person's names or provide a way to contact them. You can only obtain the specific details if the owner's identity is necessary for legal actions.
Does a car dealer count as an owner?
The practice of dealers registering cars to themselves went out of the window years ago with the change in the Registration Documents, and although technically the dealer owns the car that he sold to you, they are never a registered keeper and quite rightly so.
Can you view your V5C online?
Registered keeper details will be on the V5c registration document and you should never buy a used car without seeing the V5c. You can check vehicle details online using DVLA's vehicle enquiry service if you know the make and registration number, but keeper details are much harder to verify if you don't have the V5c.
Is it bad if a car has had 4 owners?
Does multiple owners mean the car is in bad shape? No. ... No different than when people trade their car right before its about to run out of warranty because they do not want to be the ones hit with the big expense. Take a Ferrari 360 that has ten owners, for example.
Can I find the owner of a car with the license plate number UK?
Can you find out who owns it? Not really. The only people who have access to that sort of information are the police and the DVLA and neither of them will divulge it as it is covered by the Data Protection Act. The only hope you have of finding the owner is if you spot the car on the road.
Can you change ownership of a vehicle online?

Where can I find my V5C number without logbook?
How do I find my V5C number without a logbook? Unless you happened to have written it down, the only way to get this number is on the logbook. Therefore you'll need to apply for a new one with a V62 form, which will cost £25 and take at least six weeks.
What does a vc5 look like?
Current V5C forms are red; they used to be blue. If you still have an old blue form, the DVLA encourages you to update it to a red one for free. The DVLA maintains an informative webpage with further details on the V5C and how to contact the DVLA with any questions.
