What our UK recall check covers

Our combined check pulls the DVSA recall database (the UK government's official register), the SMMT manufacturer feed and the DVLA recall archive going back to 1992. Together these cover every manufacturer with vehicles on UK roads, including legacy brands like Saab and Rover and recent entrants like BYD, Polestar and Ineos.

DVSA database

The UK government's official recall register. Confirms whether a recall is outstanding for the vehicle.

SMMT manufacturer feed

Industry data from vehicle manufacturers. Typically includes the recall description, not just a flag.

DVLA recall archive

Every UK recall campaign issued since 1992. Surfaces the historical campaigns for the same make and model alongside the live status.
