Availability of DVLA vehicle information.

Following info received from DVLA

"Please be advised that DVLA will shortly be changing the location of their mainframe. To undertake this work DVLA will need to bring down their mainframe systems on a number of weekends. This will have an effect on the service that we provide to you in relation to provision of vehicle information. The dates that this service will be impacted are:

5th/6th/7th May – Outage one
19th/20th May – Outage two
2nd/3rd/4th/5th June – Outage three

Any vehicle information provided during the above weekends will only be up-to-date as of the Friday before each weekend, e.g. information provided on 06/05/12 will be up-to-date as of 04/05/12.

I would advise there is a possibility that outage three will not be required if work conducted during outage two is successful. It may also be that DVLA will only require two days for outage three as opposed to the four days stated above. I will write to you after the 20th May to update you on the situation. However, at this stage I do advise that you plan your activity on the basis that the outages will apply to all of the above days.

I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause".
