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.
What Garage does for you

A yellow-plate search box. Results go into your history, newest first.
My Garage
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.
A look inside
Screens from our ACME Ltd demo site. Every name in them is made up.
