The DVLA can, but in my experience they need a VERY good reason for letting you know, ie just wanting to trace your old cars is not enough.
Also there is the Data Protection act, which pretty much stops anyone giving out any names or adresses.
Although there is a site, a bit like Friends reunited that does it, but only if the owners have registered.

You can get a good idea if it's still on the road and by looking it up on the dvla car check site.
car check website
Going to need a good reason for the DVLA or a bent copper to get a name and address if it's not on the cars reunited web site.
DVLA handily supply a set of 'good reasons' which an imaginative person might be able to make use of.

DVLA on above Link
"minor hit and run incidents – to help trace keepers of vehicles involved in minor hit and run incidents not warranting a full police
investigation.Circumstances could include incidents of personal injury or damage to property "
Doesn't the DVLA realise that any accident with ANY injury should be reported to the police?

I'm sure they do, but it does say " a full police investigation".
It's not as if a hit and run is as important as displaying a golliwog in a shop window

But only as good as the current owners allow it to be.
