# UK Vehicle Info Lookup

> UK Vehicle Info Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from property.payapi.market, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability uk-vehicle-info-lookup-a1480dfc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the MOT and tax status for the UK vehicle with registration AB12CDE — I want to know if it's currently valid and when they expire.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need MOT status, tax status, or vehicle specification data (make, model, CO2, engine size) for a UK-registered vehicle given its number plate. It is the right choice for pre-purchase checks, compliance monitoring, emissions lookups, and insurance data gathering. Note: despite being hosted on property.payapi.market, this is a vehicle data endpoint, not a property data endpoint — confirm your use case is vehicle-related before calling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognised registration plate returns an error or empty result
- Vehicle not found in DVLA database (e.g. very old, foreign, or recently registered vehicles)
- Malformed input (spaces in plate, incorrect format) may cause validation failure
- Service unavailability or upstream DVLA API downtime
- Payment failure via x402 protocol before data is returned

## How this service works

Production API for UK sold prices, rental yields, and stamp duty. Paid via x402 protocol. Designed for AI agent consumption.

## Output

A JSON object containing the vehicle's make, model, year, colour, fuel type, engine displacement in CC, CO2 emissions in g/km, MOT status (e.g. Valid), MOT expiry date, tax status (e.g. Taxed), and tax due date — all keyed to the submitted registration plate.
