You can also get slightly different info. (no. of previous owners and the make/model), also you don't need the car make from http://www.rac.co.uk/web/vehiclechecks/dvla_lookup/

Interesting.

A previous car I had was involved in a police incident. I had a phone call to make sure I was not still the legal owner and to ask who I had sold it onto (a garage). Fortunatley I had kept all the paperwork, letters from the DVLA because it was over 2 years ago. Then I had a phone call from a scrap man who had collected the car for the police. They would not accept my confirmation over the phone soI had to write them a letter with a photocopy of my DVLA letters.

Very annoying as you can imagine. Especailly as the police had been in touch with the DVLA before thye rang me and the scrap man had taked to the police before he rang me. Never got to find out exactly what had gone on.

Does the 'date of liability' mean the date the tax is due?

It probably does, my date is the same as when my tax runs out
