Questions, answered
Will it pay vehicle tax or book an MOT?
No. WebRun looks up vehicle records and reports what it finds. Paying tax, booking a test, or submitting anything to a government service stays a human action, so no money is spent on your behalf.
Where do the dates come from?
From the GOV.UK vehicle services, looked up by registration number. The run reports the MOT expiry date, the latest test result, and the tax status exactly as those records show them.
What about the advisory notes on a test?
They are included under any vehicle due soon, because an advisory recorded last year is the item that fails this year. Seeing them ahead of the booking lets the garage fix the right thing first.
