BMW FAQs
What is BMW's history and what does BMW stand for?
BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works). The company started in 1916 and built aircraft engines before moving to motorcycles and cars. BMW is known for the 3 Series, 5 Series, and M performance cars, and has a large UK presence with a strong diesel and petrol heritage—so ULEZ and emissions checks are especially relevant.
How do I check my BMW's MOT for free?
Use Resolvo's free BMW MOT check: enter your registration to see current MOT status, expiry date, and full MOT history from the DVSA. We show advisories and past results so you can plan servicing and stay legal.
Is my BMW ULEZ compliant?
Many BMW diesels from 2015–2016 (Euro 6) are ULEZ compliant; older diesels often are not. Petrol BMWs from around 2006 (Euro 4) onward usually comply. Use our ULEZ check and enter your reg for a result specific to your vehicle.
What are the most popular BMW models in the UK?
In the UK, the 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, and X1/X3/X5 SUVs are very popular. BMW offers petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and electric (i3, i4, iX), so CO₂ and ULEZ status vary—our tools let you check any BMW by registration.
How do I check BMW road tax and when it's due?
Go to our BMW road tax check page and enter the registration. We'll show whether the vehicle is taxed, the tax band, and the due date—useful when buying, selling, or renewing.
Can I calculate BMW HP or PCP finance?
Yes. Resolvo has free HP and PCP calculators for BMW. Enter the price, deposit, and term to see estimated monthly payments and total cost for hire purchase or PCP.
Are Resolvo's BMW checks free?
Yes. All our BMW vehicle checks—MOT, tax, ULEZ, and emissions—are free and use official DVLA and DVSA data. We don't ask for payment or store your registration.
What is BMW's relationship with Mini and Rolls-Royce?
BMW Group owns Mini (since 2000) and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars (since 1998). Each brand is run separately; Mini is built largely in the UK and Netherlands, Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England.
Does Resolvo store my BMW registration?
No. We don't store your registration or check results. Each lookup uses the DVLA/DVSA in real time and we don't keep personal data.
Why doesn't my BMW show up on the checker?
Double-check the registration format. If it's correct and still not found, the vehicle may be very new, registered abroad, or on a different register—contact the DVLA if you believe there's an error.
