MCP Vehicles Tools

Look up DfT licensed vehicle stock, road traffic, and police-reported STATS19 collisions, or compare MOT reliability. DfT and DVSA data is reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Each call costs 10 credits. All tools are read-only and idempotent.

Tool Description Parameters

Data Coverage

STATS19 currently exposes discovered per-year final files from 2021 onwards; a separate combined-file historical backfill is planned and disk-gated. Coverage metadata is derived from loaded rows. No new resource or prompt is registered. See the REST vehicles reference.
