How to find out when a car was registered in the North?

I have the registration and chassis number for a car, I intend to buy in Northern Ireland. How do I go about finding out if it was first registered there.

Our answer:

Hi Olivia, 

I'm afraid we don't know of any sure-fire way to do that with just that information. The 'V5C' log book with the car should show it of course. Another tip is to put to registration number into the UK government's MOT checking website  which shows the dates and locations of the car's previous MOT tests.
