Questions
About reg lookup
We identify the vehicle from its MOT record. Cars under three years old and MOT-exempt vehicles don't have an MOT record yet, so the plate can't be matched. Check the plate for typos, or search by make and model instead.
We don't keep the plate itself. We keep a scrambled, one-way version of it so we can spot repeat lookups, along with the make, model, year, colour and fuel type on the MOT record and whether it matched a vehicle on Keysolved. Your IP address is scrambled the same way, and we note the browser you used. If you're signed in, the lookup is linked to your account.
You'll still see the make, model and year from the MOT record, with a button to request it — the request is filled in for you. Requests come with a subscription. We review them every week and email you when the vehicle is live.
