What is a DVLA Vehicle Check?
The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) is the UK government body responsible for maintaining the database of all registered vehicles. A DVLA check gives you access to official information about any vehicle registered in the UK.
Why Check Vehicle Information with the DVLA?
Checking vehicle information through DVLA records helps you:
- Verify the vehicle is taxed and legal to drive on UK roads
- Confirm the MOT status is current
- Check the vehicle details match what the seller claims
- Identify the vehicle's age and registration history
- Understand the CO2 emissions and environmental impact
