Frequently Updated

The data is very up to date. When a vehicle is registered in the UK it will then show on our system the following day. Any cherished plate changes are loaded weekly.

All keeper changes, and other changes to the vehicle database at Swansea is then updated monthly eg scrapping, exported and imported vehicles etc.
