    • The name "uk_vehicle_rules_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    UK vehicle tax (VED) and MOT rules for 2026-27, verified against gov.uk, by category: ved-first-year (first-year rate by CO2 band for cars registered on or after 1 April 2017, petrol/RDE2-diesel and other-diesel columns), ved-standard (the flat rate from the second year and the Direct Debit surcharges), ved-expensive-car (list price threshold, annual supplement, years applied), ved-2001-2017 (bands A–M), ved-pre-2001 (engine size), ved-electric (zero-emission cars taxable since 1 April 2025), historic (40-year MOT exemption and the vehicle-tax exemption build date), mot (first MOT at 3 years, maximum fees by class, early renewal, retests, exemptions) and penalties (no MOT, dangerous vehicle, untaxed vehicle). Each figure carries its value, unit, the quoted line from the page, its source URL, effectiveFrom and the previous year's value; the answer carries verifiedDate, freshness and a citation permalink. No category returns the listing; an unknown category answers covered:false with the nearest keys.
