Public figures
This is not a vanity dashboard. It is the public numbers a dealer can cite, with the source on the same line. DVLA duty. Not how many cars OVM drove. Instant quote on this page or call 0141 459 1302.

Dealers type statistics and expect a dashboard. We do not have one to publish. No job counts. No average miles. No conversion rates. No Mixpanel numbers. No market size. No count of how many dealers use plates.
What we can cite is what DVLA charges for a trade licence. That is duty on the plates, not the price of a driven job between two postcodes.
If a number is not on GOV.UK or on trade plate licence cost, it is not on this page.
Fetched 2 September 2026 from apply for a trade licence.
The 12-month all-vehicles duty is £177, from the GOV.UK apply table.
The January 6-month all-vehicles duty is £97.35, from the GOV.UK apply table.
Licences expire on 30 June or 31 December, from apply for a trade licence.
GOV.UK says a licence cannot be issued for less than 6 months or more than 12 months at a time, on that same apply page.
The first-licence form is VTL301. Print it. Post it. Do not email it to OVM.
The two-row table and the pointer at the rest of the monthly rows sit on trade plate licence cost. That is the full table we publish. We are not going to paste GOV.UK again here.
Duty on a licence does not move a car. Trade Plate Vehicle Movements still need a valid MOT, a roadworthy car or van and one registration per booking.
Check the MOT yourself on check MOT status. You need the registration. A catalogue line is not a certificate.
Plates do not mint a test. A non-runner is not this product. Five cars is five jobs, or a truck. That is not a GOV.UK statistic. It is how the booking works.
There is no rate card hiding under these duty figures. The quote is the driven job: registration and both postcodes, on the form on this page, or call 0141 459 1302.
How that figure is built, without invented pound-per-mile rates, is what trade plate delivery costs. This page does not price a movement. It cites DVLA.
No. We do not publish how many jobs we did. These are DVLA trade licence duty figures from the GOV.UK apply table, fetched 2 September 2026. Instant quote on this page or call 0141 459 1302.
The 12-month all-vehicles duty of £177, from the GOV.UK apply table. The January 6-month all-vehicles duty of £97.35, from the same GOV.UK apply table. Expiry on 30 June or 31 December, from apply for a trade licence. The source sits on the same line as the figure.
No. This page cites DVLA. The movement quote is the form on this page, from the registration and both postcodes, or 0141 459 1302. Duty on plates is not the driven mile.
Send the registration and both postcodes. Instant quote or 0141 459 1302. If it cannot legally be driven, we will say so.
