Use our MOT Checker above. Enter your registration number to see the exact due date. Remember, you can get an MOT up to one month before the due date without losing the expiry day.
How do I check if my car is taxed? +
Enter your vehicle registration in our Car Tax Checker above. We'll tell you if your car is currently taxed and when it expires. You can tax your vehicle online at gov.uk/vehicle-tax.
Does my car need to pay ULEZ? +
Check with our ULEZ Checker above. Generally, petrol cars first registered after 2005 and diesel cars first registered after September 2015 are ULEZ compliant. Non-compliant vehicles pay ÂŖ12.50 per day.
How many points are on my driving licence? +
Use our Driving Licence Checker above. Points stay on your licence for 4 years (or 11 years for serious offences like drink driving). The check will show your current penalty points and expiry dates.
How much is vehicle tax on my car? +
Vehicle tax (VED) rates depend on CO2 emissions, fuel type, and list price. Use our Car Tax Calculator above. For a typical petrol car first registered after 2017, annual tax is usually between ÂŖ180 and ÂŖ220.
How do I renew my driving licence at 70? +
Your driving licence expires at age 70 (for car and motorcycle). You'll receive a reminder from DVLA. You can renew online at gov.uk/renew-driving-licence — it's free and you keep the same photo if it's recent.
Can I drive without a valid MOT? +
No. Driving without a valid MOT is illegal and can result in fines up to ÂŖ1,000, penalty points, and invalidated insurance. Use our MOT Checker to verify your status.
What is the difference between ULEZ and CAZ? +
ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) is in London. CAZs (Clean Air Zones) are in cities like Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester. Both charge non-compliant vehicles. Our checker works for both systems.

đŸ‡Ŧ🇧 Understanding UK Vehicle Regulations 2025-2026

📋 MOT Tests

Your vehicle needs an MOT test every year once it's 3 years old (or after 1 year for taxis, ambulances, and vehicles used for hire and reward). The test checks that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.

💰 Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)

Vehicle tax rates for 2025-2026 vary by fuel type and CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles currently pay zero tax. Standard petrol and diesel vehicles pay between ÂŖ190 and ÂŖ235 annually, plus a supplement if the list price exceeds ÂŖ40,000.

đŸ›Ąī¸ Clean Air Zones

ULEZ in London charges ÂŖ12.50 per day for non-compliant vehicles. Similar zones in Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Manchester, Portsmouth, and other cities have different charges, typically ÂŖ8-ÂŖ10 per day. Check your vehicle's compliance before travelling.
