The ASK DVLA is a React Native application designed to provide detailed information about vehicles based on their registration numbers. Utilizing a user-friendly interface and efficient API calls, the app offers a convenient way for users to access a variety of vehicle-related data.
- Vehicle Data Retrieval: Users can enter a vehicle's registration number to retrieve and display information such as make, year of manufacture, color, engine capacity, fuel type, and more.
- Status Checks: The app provides current MOT (Ministry of Transport test) and tax status of the vehicle, including expiry dates.
- Navigation: Implemented using React Navigation with a bottom tab navigator for easy access to different sections of the app.
- External Linking: For vehicles not currently taxed, the app offers a direct link to the UK Government's vehicle tax service.
