Quick Start

Copy and paste this code into your HTML where you want the widget to appear:

Dark Theme (default)

<div id="fpc-widget"></div>
<script src="https://www.freeplatecheck.co.uk/widget.js" data-theme="dark"></script>

Light Theme

For sites with a light background, use the light theme variant:

Light Theme

<div id="fpc-widget"></div>
<script src="https://www.freeplatecheck.co.uk/widget.js" data-theme="light"></script>

Custom Target Element

If you already have an element with a different ID, use the data-target attribute to specify where the widget should render:

Custom target element

<div id="my-vehicle-checker"></div>
<script src="https://www.freeplatecheck.co.uk/widget.js" data-theme="dark" data-target="my-vehicle-checker"></script>

  4. Your visitor gets a complete free vehicle report: MOT history, tax status, mileage, recalls, valuations, and more

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The widget and all vehicle checks are completely free. There are no hidden charges, API keys, or usage limits.

Does it load any external CSS or frameworks?

No. The widget is a single self-contained JavaScript file with all styles inline. It has no dependencies and won't interfere with your existing styles.

Can I use it on a commercial site?

Absolutely. Dealers, garages, car bloggers, and forums are all welcome to embed the widget. We just ask that you keep the “Powered by” attribution link.

What data does it collect?

The widget itself collects no data. When a visitor submits a registration, they are taken to freeplatecheck.co.uk where our standard privacy policy applies.

Is it responsive?

Yes. The widget adapts to any container width from 280px upwards. It has a max-width of 400px and centres itself automatically.
