Look up a UK registration to see basic vehicle details and a summary of its latest MOT record from DVSA. Then use the exact version and original list price to explore its tax.

What this check can tell you
Where supplied by DVSA, the result includes the make, model, fuel type, colour, registration date and latest recorded test, mileage and expiry. For a newly registered vehicle, there may be a first MOT due date instead of completed tests. Some fields may be missing.
A latest-test summary is a starting point. Read the full history on GOV.UK for individual defects, advisories and earlier test results. A pass reflects the vehicle at the test date; it does not guarantee its condition today or replace an inspection. Recorded expiry is not a live guarantee that a vehicle can be used legally.
What you still need for a tax estimate
MOT data does not give us the exact derivative, original published list price or factory options. Ask the seller for evidence of those details. The price of a used car today is not its original tax list price. Confirm the actual first-registration date, especially for an import, before using the calculator.
