The Isle of man is a small island between UK and Ireland, with just over 65,000 registered vehicles. However, up to now, vehicles registered in the IOM fell outside the data returned by the API https://www.regcheck.org.uk 

Following a customer enquiry, we added a bespoke API to allow vehicle data to be determined from an IOM registered plate via the following endpoint;

https://www.regcheck.org.uk/api/bespokeapi.asmx?op=CheckIOM

This API returns data in the following format;

{
“Description”: “HONDA JAZZ”,
“RegistrationYear”: 2012,
“CarMake”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “HONDA”
},
“CarModel”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “JAZZ”
},
“EngineSize”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “1339”
},
“FuelType”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “PETROL”
},
“MakeDescription”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “HONDA”
},
“ModelDescription”: {
“CurrentTextValue”: “JAZZ”
},
“Version”: “I-VTEC ES”,
“Colour”: “SILVER”,
“Co2”: “126”,
“RegistrationDate”: “06/07/2012”,
“WheelPlan”: “2-AXLE Rigid”,
“Taxed”: “Active”,
“TaxExpiry”: “31/07/2018”,
“ImageUrl”: “https://www.regcheck.org.uk/image.aspx/@SE9OREEgSkFaWg==”
}

If the number plate matches one of the following patterns listed below, it will be returned in IOM format, rather than the standard UK format.
