Mikey Jay Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Right, rubix's thread talking about his old Glanza made me all nostalgic and stuff.Anyways, I used that Askmid website that tells you if a car is on the insurance database thingy to see if all my old cars are ok.Well, out of all my old cars only my Starlet came up as being on there The Levin, Vitara and my old Paseo all came up with a Warning saying they aren't on the database.This either means they've been written off, declared SORN, scrapped (Vitara probably was ) or being driven illegally Feel a bit sad now, and kind of hoping the Askmid site isn't 100% accurate......

Galliano Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 https://www.mycarcheck.com/check/P818SBV/old Paseo is still going Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 That just means they have info for a vehicle check on it, doesn't neccessarily mean it's all ok though, or does it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 na its fail, i searched Psix seven seven KWA (my first paseo) and that was a small cube this time two years ago - and it shows up as a Paseo Si.Try the DVLA check - that will be accurate.(It's free - and tells you the colour and make of the car.

Mikey Jay Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 What's fail, the askmid thing, or the website you just posted up?I don't get why you're complaining, even if it's been scrapped etc it'll still tell you what the car was the the registration number corresponds to surely?

He did scrap it pretty hastey before i had got everything off of it Just makes me wonder if anyone bought it - built it up and put it back on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 My old Paseo is quite possibly dead then........ Hope nothing horrible happened to her, guy who bought it seemed alright, enthusiastic young lad getting his first carAccording to DVLA the Levin is currently taxed.This suggests that either it's being ran illegally, the askmid site isn't up to date, or it's been crashed and the tax didn't get reclaimed.Also from DVLA site have found out the Vitara is not taxed, so most likely scrapped (underside was rusting really well ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 that askmid thing isnt totally accurate... only 85% (or something like that) of insurance companies are on it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Got a text from the guy who bought the Levin from me todayCar is actually living in a garage as is off the road, as the guy in in Australia for an indefinate length of time.Very glad it hasn't been written off like I feared it may have been originally Although downside is he's apparantly had quite a few problems with it since buying it, so would seem I sold it at the right time ;)Worked fine when I had it though, other than a slightly irratic idle at times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
