Dutch APK (MOT) expiry API

Netherlands APK (MOT) check by licence plate (APK vervaldatum, RDW): expiry date, days until expiry and a status band (expired, due within 30 days, due within 90 days, ok), with insurance and open-recall flags. Cheap enough to run daily on a fleet or for reminder agents.
