If the correct registration number has been entered the VRM system will automatically retrieve the vehicle details and fill in the Description field and Colour. An example is shown below:

If the vehicle details have not been pulled via VRM then this may mean that the registration number is incorrect. If this occurs please double check the registration number on https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla to ensure that it exists.

Please note that we don't get the information for VRM directly from DVLA so there may be some differences in description etc. However, you can amend the vehicle details on the Add Used Vehicle screen.

Select the required vehicle details from the drop down menus. Once complete select Ok. If you no longer want to amend the description of the vehicle click Cancel.
