Car Pal checks any UK vehicle in seconds. Enter a number plate and it pulls the official DVLA and DVSA records into one clean screen: tax and MOT status with due dates, colour-coded so problems jump out, plus make, model, colour, engine size, CO2 and V5C issue date.
See every MOT test the car has had - passes, failures, advisories and defects. Mileage is charted over time, and Car Pal automatically warns you when a reading goes backwards, a classic sign of possible clocking.
