Frequently Asked Questions
Is UK Reg Check free to use?
Yes. Checking a UK vehicle registration is completely free. There are no sign-ups, no hidden charges, and no limits on basic lookups. We do offer an optional paid MOT and tax reminder service for drivers who want to be notified before their vehicle expires.
Where does the vehicle data come from?
All vehicle details are retrieved in real time from official UK Government sources — the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service for tax status, colour, engine and make information, and the DVSA MOT History API for MOT test results and advisories.
What information can I get from a registration number?
You can see the vehicle make, model, year of manufacture, colour, fuel type, engine size, CO2 emissions, current tax status, tax due date, MOT status, MOT expiry date, and the full MOT test history including any advisories or failures.
Can I check if a car has valid MOT and tax?
Yes. Our free lookup shows both the current MOT status and tax status of any UK registered vehicle, along with the dates they expire. This is the same data used by the police and DVLA.
Do you store the registration numbers I search?
We cache lookup results briefly to keep the service fast, but we do not link searches to any personal identity. IP addresses are hashed before storage. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How accurate is the MOT and tax information?
The data is pulled live from official DVLA and DVSA systems and reflects the most recent information held by those agencies. Results are as accurate as the underlying government records.
