DVLA holds registration, keeper counts, VED and technical detail. DVSA holds MOT tests and advisories. MIAFTR is the insurance industry's own total-loss register. Stolen-vehicle markers come from contracted UK data providers, which aggregate insurer theft notifications and police-issued alerts. The finance position comes from participating UK lenders. Each finding in the report names the register it came from, so nothing is presented as fact without a source.

The 'driving other cars' extension on some annual policies, where it exists at all, is normally third-party only and excludes vehicles owned by the driver. It is not a route to collecting a car you have just bought. A short-term comprehensive policy in your own name is the recognised way to drive a newly purchased vehicle home.

Short-term cover is priced by the day and by the hour band, so buying more days than you need is wasted money, and buying too few leaves a gap the moment a journey overruns. For a collection trip, cover the day of collection and the following day; delays at handover are the most common reason a policy expires mid-journey.
