Questions

Does this include insurance?

No. DVLA vehicle enquiry covers tax, MOT, and vehicle particulars. Insurance sits on AskMID, which this server could not reach.

Is this the official DVLA API?

This testing page uses the public GOV.UK vehicle enquiry HTML service. The keyed Vehicle Enquiry Service API is separate.

What does yes mean?

The registration resolved to a vehicle record on the public enquiry. Review tax and MOT fields for compliance status.
