Apart from the fact that it will have a registered_keeper_, not owner,

Strangely enough, yes. The DVLA hold the vehicle records but it's the
police's responsibility to resolve issues of ownership for 'found'
property.

Maybe the DVLA have special procedures in place to resolve this kind of
situation without the round-trip, in which case good on them, but I
doubt it.


The point is the DVLA don't care about ownership, only who is the 'keeper'.
