If you don't get a return from a search it means the vehicle hasn't been taxed since the early 90's. That's because the DVLA put everything on computer then and before that the laws on SORN and buying/selling cars were different too!
For £2.50 you can get the address of a car if you know the numberplate. Even cheaper if you have a dodgy mate working for them (which I don't).
