I was told about an app which gives useful information on any car you my be looking to buy. By entering the reg you get vehicle deatails, mot history with advisories and mileage history. It's called 'vehicle smart' but as always I suppose buying a good used car is never going to be easy but this app may give some usful information.

The problem is : it's an app. They nearly always require full access to everything else on your phone too.

I know of one weather app that a friend had, which he then discovered required and had granted to itself access to his complete phone book and email account.

Far easier to simply go to the .gov websites to get the same information directly.

I didn't get as far as finding out what it needed to access. It requires iOS 8 which would be likely to make my hand-me-down iPhone 4s useless.
