hey thanks for the link i tried to do it and wouldent let me ! erm on the logbook 1.8  this gets worse guys ive just txt a thing on TV that checks car data and this is the reply i got

THERE IS NO DVLA OR POLICE RECORD FOUND FOR J180 ONX

J180 0NX IS DAMAGED CATEGORY=C LOSS DATE 18-6-2000 REPAIR COSTS EXCEED PRE- ACCIDENT VALUE. 
THERE IS NO RECORD OF A  VIC INSPECTION

WTF?? IVE GOT LAST YEARS MOT CIRTIFICATE!  FEEL ILL JUST GOING TO RING DVLA

Thats not good, no vic check means it should not be back on the road.
