What is Resolvo?
Resolvo is an AI tool designed to help people challenge their parking tickets using the latest UK parking laws. It reviews your specific situation, references the correct laws and regulations, and creates a strong, personalised appeal letter in minutes. Each year in the UK, millions of parking tickets are issued, often due to unclear signage, technical errors, or confusing rules. Resolvo simplifies the appeals process, helping people fight unfair fines with confidence by creating legally-sound appeals based on current parking regulations. Note: Resolvo supports appeals for both private parking tickets and council-issued Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs). However, it does not handle Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) for moving traffic violations, which typically require a court appeal.
How does Resolvo work?
Resolvo uses artificial intelligence to analyse your unique situation and match it with the latest UK parking laws. Here's how the process works: 1. You describe your parking situation and ticket details to Resolvo 2. Resolvo asks you clarifying questions to gather all necessary information 3. The AI analyses your case against current UK parking regulations and case law 4. Resolvo identifies the strongest legal grounds for your appeal based on your circumstances 5. A personalised appeal letter is instantly created, citing relevant laws and precedents 6. You receive the completed letter that you can send directly to the parking company or council The entire process takes just minutes, compared to the hours it might take to research and write an appeal yourself.
How does Resolvo help with parking tickets?
Resolvo helps you appeal unfair parking tickets by generating a free, legally-based appeal letter tailored to your situation. We also provide information on your vehicle's tax, MOT, and emissions status to support your case.

DVLA will automatically cancel your tax and send a refund cheque for any full months remaining (calculated from when they receive your notification). You won't get refunds for fees, surcharges, or partial months. If your refund doesn't arrive within 8 weeks, contact DVLA directly.
How much road tax do I pay?
Your road tax amount depends on your vehicle's registration date and CO₂ emissions. Vehicles registered before March 2001 pay based on engine size (£220-360). Those registered March 2001-2017 pay CO₂-based rates (£20-760). Vehicles from April 2017 onwards pay a first-year rate based on emissions (£10-5490), then £195 annually. Cars over £40,000 pay an extra £425 supplement for five years. Our checker shows your exact rate based on DVLA data.
When is my road tax and MOT due?
You must pay your Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, and have an MOT inspection every year. The DVLA will mail you a V11 reminder approximately a month before your tax is due. Note that cars are only subject to annual MOT testing once they are three years old, or four in Northern Ireland. Mark these dates in your calendar as driving without valid tax or MOT is illegal.
How do I pay my road tax online?

You'll need your V5C registration certificate and a valid payment method.
What happens if I don't tax my vehicle?
Every vehicle on public roads must contribute towards their maintenance and other associated costs through road tax. It is illegal to drive your vehicle untaxed; doing so can result in substantial fines, court action, and even vehicle impoundment. The DVLA actively enforces vehicle taxation.
Do I need to tax my vehicle if it is registered as SORN?
If your car has a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN), you do not need to pay road tax or get your annual MOT until you're ready to sell the vehicle, or get it back on the road. Registering your car as SORN lets the DVLA know that it'll be off the road, and sets you up to get a refund on any remaining road tax.
Will I get a refund on my road tax if I sell my vehicle?
Yes, you can get a refund on your road tax when you sell your car or van. Contact the DVLA or apply for a DVLA car tax refund online. You can expect to receive payment within six weeks. Refunds are paid in full months only - you won't get a refund for partial weeks or days.
Can I drive a new vehicle home without road tax?
It is illegal to drive an untaxed car in the UK. Road tax must be paid on vehicles before they can be driven on public roads. This can be done online via the DVLA, at the post office, or even at the dealership when purchasing. The tax doesn't transfer from the previous owner.
Are there any vehicles that don't need road tax?
Yes, some vehicles are exempt from UK road tax including: historic vehicles (over 40 years old), cars and vans used by disabled people, vehicles used for agriculture, and those registered as SORN. Electric vehicles (EVs) were exempt until April 2025 but now pay standard rates.
Why can't I find my vehicle in the system?
If you can't find your vehicle, it may be due to: the vehicle being very new (records not yet updated), incorrect registration number entry, the vehicle being registered outside the UK, or system delays. Double-check your registration number and try again, or contact the DVLA if problems persist.
Why is my vehicle tax expiry date incorrect?
If your vehicle tax expiry date appears incorrect, notify the DVLA immediately as this may reflect a clerical error in their system. Keep in mind that it can take up to two working days for DVLA records to be updated after payment or other changes to your vehicle registration.
