Check car tax and MOT status
Live tax status is not available here yet. DVLA has paused new applications for its vehicle enquiry API. We show an estimated annual rate from the published VED tables and the VCA fuel consumption dataset, and link out to the official checker for live status. We will add the live panel the day registration reopens.
