Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud & Theft Register (MIAFTR)

MIAFTR is a database containing records of written off and stolen vehicles, as defined by the Code of Practice for the Disposal of Motor Vehicle Salvage. MIAFTR was designed and developed to help monitor vehicles written off for insurance purposes, to help trace and recover stolen vehicles and to help detect fraud.

Access to MIAFTR is limited to subscribers, of which there are approximately 300. These include insurers, self-insured compensators (eg fleet companies), police forces and delegated authorities working on behalf of an existing subscriber (eg an insurer).
