What does our car tax check include?

Tax Status

We show the current tax status of the vehicle, including whether it's taxed, SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification), or untaxed.

Tax Expiry Date

We provide the exact expiry date of the vehicle's tax, so you never miss an important renewal deadline.

Road Tax Band

Find out which tax band the vehicle falls into based on its CO2 emissions and engine size, helping you understand its tax rate.

Outstanding Tax

If there is any outstanding tax owed on the vehicle, we highlight it, so you're aware of any liabilities before purchasing.

Tax History

We provide a full history of the vehicle's tax payments, showing when it was taxed or SORN, and any changes made.

Road Tax Due

Our system will display the next due road tax payment, so you're always up-to-date with upcoming deadlines.

V5C (Logbook) Details

We include details from the V5C logbook to verify the vehicle's tax and registration status.

How does our car tax check work?

Checking your car tax status with Vehiclepedia is quick and easy. Simply enter your vehicle's registration number, and we'll retrieve the latest tax information from the DVLA. You'll receive details about whether the vehicle is taxed, the expiration date, and if there are any outstanding payments. This ensures you have full visibility into the tax status of the vehicle before making any decisions.

Why check your car tax status?

It's important to check your car's tax status regularly to avoid any penalties or fines. If a vehicle is not taxed, it could lead to a fine or even the vehicle being impounded. By using our car tax check, you can also make sure the vehicle's tax is up-to-date and ensure that you're compliant with UK road tax laws.

How to pay for your car tax

To pay for your car tax, you can visit the official GOV.UK website where you can pay online and find information on the rates for your specific vehicle. Alternatively, if you're unsure about the tax band for your car, you can check the full details of your tax history and current payment status using our service .
