A UK registration, live status, optional clean air context, and a signed AffixIO result.
Industry search data through early 2026 still puts MOT check near the top of UK motoring queries, on the order of two million searches a month. Drivers also hunt for vehicle tax dates, ULEZ rules and full “car check” packs before a private sale.
Commercial reports often start around a few pounds and climb for finance, stolen and write-off flags. Those extras matter for a purchase. For “is the MOT in date?” and “is it taxed?”, the government already publishes the answer.
Plate Pass is not a paid HPI clone. It is an AffixIO demo: explain the market, pull live open signals, and return a yes or no eligibility result without AffixIO holding your vehicle records. Chrome extension privacy: Plate Pass privacy policy.
Useful when you need finance, write-off and keeper history in one pack. MOT history is usually included, and you pay per lookup or by subscription.
Check MOT history and Check vehicle tax are free. Developers can register for the DVSA MOT history API and DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service with no per-lookup fee.
Seven-day English Wikipedia traffic for MOT test, Vehicle Excise Duty and HPI, refreshed from the public Pageviews API.

Enter a UK registration. Plate Pass pulls live tax and MOT status from official DVLA records, then AffixIO returns a signed road-legal result.
No manual MOT or tax fields. The AffixIO Plate Pass API looks the vehicle up, then proves whether it clears the road-legal rule.
Fetching live DVLA records
Match a postcode to published ULEZ and clean air zones. Optional registration fills fuel and Euro status from the live record.
Checking
One registration per line. Live MOT expiry is fetched for each plate, then AffixIO flags anything inside your due-date window.
