Government websites don’t usually show up here but I think this one on vehicle recalls warrants coverage. (It’s UK) - a database of all vehicle recalls that you can query to see if your vehicle has had anything wrong with it.
It used to be you had to phone or call in a dealer to find out vehicle recalls information- I had to once with a Ford Orion that needed the jockey wheel replaced. This is a vitally important wheel that was originally plastic in the 1.8 Diesel engines and could break. If that went you lost your timing belt and most likely turned the engine into a pile of useless scrap metal. Ford issued a replacement metal wheel.
So if you buy a 2nd hand car you know where to look, to check for vehicle recalls.
