<p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issues renewal reminders to the
registered keeper of the vehicle. These reminders make clear that it is a legal requirement
for a vehicle to be licensed annually even where no duty is payable. This helps ensure
that the keeper information held on the DVLA’s record is accurate and reminds the
keeper that if they do not intend on licensing the vehicle then it must be kept off
road and a statutory off road notification must be made. The following table shows
the number of electric or low emission vehicles with a nil rate of duty that were
identified for potential enforcement action over the last five years as the vehicle
had not been licensed on time.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number
