DVLA Vehicle Lookup

Requirements:

• For every car registration plate stored in the system, fetch and display as much information as possible from the DVLA API.
• At a minimum, show the make, model, year, and an image of the vehicle.
• Ensure the UI:
• • Displays all saved cars.
• • Allows users to add new cars, delete saved cars, and view more details for each one.
• • Handles and displays errors gracefully if the DVLA API integration fails.
• • Is styled neatly.
• • (Bonus) Is mobile-friendly/responsive.

Constraints:

• Only valid and verified registration plates should be stored in the saved list.
• The codebase contains bugs and incomplete sections — these must be identified and fixed.

Features:

• Vehicle registration directory interface with controls to add new entries, select existing items to reveal attached image and brief details.
• API service module with error response handling.
• Validation of vehicle registrations in directory on session start, and upon adding a new entry.
• Vehicle information page with controls to return to and remove from directory, add and remove an attached image.
• Vehicle information, validation conditions, and attached image cached in local storage for duration of user session, limiting excessive API requests.
• (Bonus) mobile-friendly/responsive.
