Reporting every possible infringement of the law is very different from helping in case of an accident or if someone is in serious need of help! Do we really want to return to the days of Franco - maybe your weren't here then? This kind of vigilante action can quickly become very petty and provide entertainment for bored English in Spain. Perhaps when the weather gets better they will find nicer things to do. If a car blocks your Vado for which you have paid good money, you have every right to report the obstruction. This is quite different.

In my opinion, that's a totally stupid and irresponsible attitude. 

We're not talking here about a minor infringement of the law; we're talking about one that could possibly have life-altering consequences.

And vigilante means taking the law into one's own hands, whereas we're talking here about referring an offence to officers of the law for them to take action.

That was exactly the attitude in Nazi Germany, Franco's Spain, Sadam's Iraq, Chile in the dark days and many many more. There's a fine divide between reporting a potential crime - for example a teenager carrying a dangerous knife - and guessing that a car with English plates is illegal. How would you feel if someone with too little to do felt that you were living too comfortably and thus reported you to the National Assistance people for fraud!?

Sorry 

Lets agree to differ 😊

The OP isn't guessing that the car is illegal, he's confirmed it with DVLA, so it's definitely a crime and not a potential one.

I doubt if the DLVC will give out data to third parties. Certainly in Spain they will not. Even the buying-selling prices of property are protected. This is a major reason for the opaquness of the property market.

Anyone can consult the database by registration number to check if a vehicle has tax and MOT.

In addition, the Guardia can do a roadside check of the database.

I'd didn't know that! Quite a good source of fun for some! I wonder why they fog out numbers on films?

Mate ant you got nothing better to do in your life .you sad person ..have a day off and mind ya business 

You may report to the Spanish police who will take all your personal details for their records. They also will ask you if there is a special interest in making them work on an issue which shouldn't bother you (as you are not directly affected). Then, perhaps, they will find out the vehicle owner and tell him that YOU filed a report of a possible illegal proceeding. Is it worth that?
