What You Get — Completely Free
No watered-down results. Our free car check delivers the same detailed data that paid services charge for.
Full MOT History
Every MOT test from 2005 onwards — pass/fail results, test dates, and certificate numbers. See exactly what every examiner found.
Mileage Verification
Compare odometer readings across every MOT test. Spot suspicious drops or jumps that could indicate clocking — the most common used car fraud in the UK.
Advisory & Failure Details
Every advisory notice and failure item colour-coded by severity — minor, major, and dangerous. Know what needs fixing now and what to budget for later.
Current MOT Status
Confirm whether the vehicle has a valid MOT certificate right now. See the exact expiry date so you know if it is legal to drive.
Pass Rate Analysis
See the vehicle's MOT pass rate over its lifetime. A pattern of failures on the same components reveals ongoing neglect.
Component Breakdown
Defects organised by component — brakes, suspension, tyres, lights, emissions. Track which areas have caused repeated problems across tests.
Why Is This Car Check Free?
We believe basic vehicle safety data should be accessible to everyone. Here is how we keep it free.
Official Open Data
MOT history comes from the DVSA — a public dataset. We do not need to buy this data from third parties, so we can pass it on to you at zero cost.
Premium Upgrades
We offer optional premium reports for buyers who want deeper data like finance checks or write-off history. The free tier funds itself through these upgrades.
No Advertising Tricks
We do not sell your data or bombard you with ads. The free check is genuinely free — we earn trust first and revenue second.
