Which cars can I check?

Use a UK number plate. Petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric cars are supported where DVSA has a record. Car test history covers England, Scotland and Wales from 2005, and Northern Ireland from 2017. Some cars have limited or no history yet. Recall information depends on the manufacturer.
