Installation through HACS
You can install the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service integration by searching for it there in HA instance.
Use this route only if you do not want to use HACS and love the pain of manually installing regular updates.

Before you can configure this sensor, you must register and obtain and API key at VES API Registration.
As the integration only queries the API twice a day you can put 62 for Estimated monthly enquiry volumes. You will need to multiple this by the number of vehicles you wish to query.
Also make sure to select no for Testing otherwise you won't have access to any live data.
The following attributes can be expose as attributes in HA. It's also worth mentioning that some data won't be returned if it doesn't apply to the specific vehicle.
