Maybe first speak to the place where you did the part-ex?
Or Google the reg? A new owner may have at some point referred to it by reg on a forum (as new Coop owners often do on here when trying to find out about the previous owner) and it might show up in results? Or someone might have sold it on some other site and again they might refer to it by reg in the description and again it might come up in the results.
You might get an idea of what happened to it? Yeah, tried googling. No joy. There is one similar one on ebay, but the Reg is blanked out. On for £4100 !!! Might ring the seller just to rule it out. Might phone the dealer where we sold it.... good plan.

Thanks for taking the time JKD.
Not sure. If they just use DVLA for info, it will just show no Tax and no MOT.
Will see if I can find a free car status checker, but unlikely.

What I meant was, at the very least, for free, with AutoTrader and MyCarCheck entering a reg shows a few basic details (make, model etc). But does that happen for any reg that has ever existed? Or would entering the reg numbers of vehicles that you know have been definitely scrapped, come back with no details/invalid reg/reg not found or something like that? I've just checked a few of my scrapped cars, they still show up.

Did you try: https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/ ? When I was looking for my 807, I found quite a few cars came back with no details when I put the reg in. All were dealer cars, so I suspect they are just in limbo - no tax or MOT until sold. With the mileage your Leon had, the garage might have sent it to auction, so it may be just sitting in a lot somewhere waiting...

Cheers Jim, thanks I'll take a look. I suspect it is sitting somewhere.

It could have been bought by someone living in mainland Europe. Sorned and new uk log book to an address in the uk. Then once the new owner has a uk log book in his name he can then re register it in a country of his choice.
