Another tip for motorists unrelated to the above services is that many insurance companies have been offering discounts to drivers – who because of COVID-19 restrictions have limited mileage on the clock – obviously, the less you drive the lower the risk of claims. Worth a call to your broker or insurance company.

You can use this service to check details about a vehicle, including:

• vehicle tax – the current rate and when it expires
• SORN status
