Vehicle Data is a complete vehicle research tool — VIN decoding, license plate lookups, recall checks, complaints, fuel economy, crash ratings, MOT history, and physical specs across the US, UK, Canada, and Netherlands.
Whether you're buying a used car and want to know its full history, checking if your current vehicle has any open recalls, or building a vehicle data feature into an app, this tool has the depth and coverage to do it. A 17-character VIN unlocks 140+ decoded fields. A UK plate unlocks the full MOT history. A US make, model, and year unlocks recalls, complaints, fuel economy, and crash ratings all at once.

- decode_vin — decode any 17-character VIN into 140+ fields
- plate_lookup — look up Dutch vehicles by license plate
- inspection_history — full UK MOT history with pass/fail, mileage, advisories
