Your database is not normalized properly. There should never be this kind of duplication in data. A much better model would look like this.

dbo.Car
   id
   plateNo
   plateCity
   plateColor
   ownerFullName
   mobile
dbo.Record
   id
   carId (foreign key to dbo.Car)
   location
   date
   tax
   mobile

Now when you insert data, you only insert it in one place and data integrity is maintained automatically.

When you want record data for a car the query is simple.

SQL

SELECT * 
  FROM Car
       INNER JOIN Record ON Record.CarId = Car.Id
