Type a number plate. Know the car, its MOT and its tax.

Garage looks up UK vehicles with the DVLA: enter a registration and get the make, colour, year, fuel, engine size, CO2, and MOT and road-tax status. Save vehicles to My Garage and you will be told before an MOT or tax runs out.

Saved vehicles sorted by what needs attention: red when MOT or tax has run out, amber when due within 30 days.

Reminders

A sidebar badge and notices before MOT or tax expires.

On your website

Show a set of vehicles as cards on any public page.
