If you purchase a second-hand vehicle and you don’t know it’s stolen, the police have every right to seize it if it’s registered as missing on their computer.
Before buying a used car, it’s recommended that you have a MyVehicle.ie check carried out on any UK reg which will return details of outstanding finance, insurance write-off data, MOT history etc.
