Well my view would be that that persons information was most definitely not given to the DVLA to allow some used car spiv sales person to use it as a selling point.
So straight away there is an issue of data not being used in line with the reason it was collected.

As somebody who may have sold a car recently I would be horrified to think some dealer I never transacted with was bandying around my personal information online for profit.
You absolutely must not have a firm understanding of the importance and sensitivity of such personal data. Hint: General Data Protection Regulation. It wasn't a huge multi industry talking point and grave concern for no reason, but because it is a serious topic.
So yes it is an official document, as is your tax return among many other types of documents. Just because you may share it with your accountant etc doesn't mean it is completely fine for him to share it online.
Ah ok, I am not surprised. Was thinking about this on the way home and if they didn't act they would be in gross violation... I wonder what the DVLA turnover is.. the fines would be hectic. Actually.. this is interesting.
- According to [1], revenue for 2016/17 was £6 billion.
- See the fines in [2].
- If they didn't fix the process they would potentially be in gross violation and subject to the 4% fine. Even at the 2% rate they would have to pay £245,120,000
[1] DVLA's annual report and accounts 2016 to 2017 - GOV.UK
[2] Key Changes with the General Data Protection Regulation – EUGDPR [not the best reference]
And seeing as you take GDPR so seriously, this is not sensitive data.

So if you think it’s illegal, did YOU do anything about it more constructive than writing a rant on the internet?
