Free car check

Tax, MOT and ULEZ for any UK registration, straight from the DVLA's register. No sign-up, no fee.

Questions

What does the free car check show?

Whether the car is taxed and when it's due, whether its MOT is valid and when it runs out, whether it's likely to be ULEZ compliant, and its make, colour, fuel, engine size, CO2 and first registration, from the DVLA's register.

Is the car check really free?

Yes. There's no fee and no sign-up. It reads the DVLA's public vehicle register, the same record the government's own checker uses.

Does it show outstanding finance or whether a car is stolen?

No. Those come from private databases and paid checks. This shows what the DVLA records: tax, MOT and the car's details.
