"SMO Summary motoring 170 Vehicle registration and excise licence offences (MOT) 81001 81001 - Motor vehicle licence obscured or not affixed"
DVLA have not issued vehicle excise discs since 1st October 2014, therefore this would be zero.
"SMO Summary motoring 170 Vehicle registration and excise licence offences (MOT) 81090 81090 - Other motor vehicle licence, trade licence, registration mark, trade plate and registration book offences (except forgery and deception offences)"
The vast majority of the offences described are matters for DVLA rather than police.
Below is the record of offences that police have identified:
