They've changed the format recently and every one of my family's cars now comes up with the following erroneous response! :~

Invalid Vehicle Registration Number. Please check and try again.

Just tried all the reg's I can remember too and it seems to be working fine.

Not used the site for a while, but it looked different from how I remember, so guess it's the new format. Put the reg in, ticked the t&c box and the 'yes I'm human' box, and it came up with the right details and showed as insured. Did mine and my wife's cars, and my bike, on the laptop, and just done my dads bike on my phone. All working fine.

So it does

shame I dont count that as a valid vrm as it should have the space. Also I can see nothing on the site about no space.

Atleast we found out the issue

So I don't get an hassle from the ANPR cameras with insurance, I suppose I am going to have to remove the space on my personal plate.
