Free tool · Live DVLA data

Vehicle status checker

Enter any UK registration to see its tax status, MOT expiry, colour, fuel type, engine size and more, live from the DVLA. It's a working demo of the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry API integration I build for dealers, fleets and car-buying platforms.

What this shows

Every result comes straight from the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service, the same official record used across the motor trade. It doesn't include the model or the registered keeper, as the DVLA doesn't share those through this API. For full MOT history, try the MOT history check.

Using this in your own system

The same lookup can fill in a stock listing as soon as a reg is entered, show live tax and MOT status on a vehicle page, or check a whole fleet every morning. The API is free, so each lookup costs nothing once it's built. See DVLA API integration, DVLA lookups on a dealer website and what it costs to build.
